Minneapolis: Minneapolis police chief Medaria Arradondo testified on Monday that officer Derek Chauvin violated the department’s training policies and its “values” by kneeling on George Floyd’s neck after he had stopped resisting.
Arradondo, called as a prosecution witness at Chauvin’s murder trial, said the use of force against Floyd was reasonable during the “first few seconds” of his May 25, 2020 arrest but it should have ended quickly.
“It is contrary to our training to indefinitely place your knee on a prone, handcuffed individual for an indefinite length of time,” the police chief of the Minnesota city said.
“That in no way, shape or form is anything that is by policy,” he said. “It is not part of our training and it is certainly not part of our ethics or our values.
