A leading expert in use of force testified Tuesday that former Minneapolis Police Department officer Derek Chauvin’s force on George Floyd was excessive.
Chauvin, who kneeled on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes during the May 25 arrest, has been charged with second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Floyd was in handcuffs and face down while in the restraint.
Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Jody Stiger, a use-of-force expert, testified that the force used on Floyd was justified when officers were trying to get him into the squad car. But the force became “excessive” once Floyd was on the ground.
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin held his knee against George Floyd’s neck and was bearing down with most of his weight the entire time the Black man lay face down with his hands cuffed behind his back, a use-of-force expert testified Wednesday.
Chauvin, 45, is standing trial on murder and manslaughter charges in connection with Floyd’s May 2020 death. Prosecutors allege that Chauvin held his knee on Floyd’s neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds, despite Floyd being handcuffed, in the prone position. Floyd was later declared dead.
Police were responding at the time to a report that Floyd, 46, had tried to use a counterfeit $20 bill while buying cigarettes at a neighborhood convenience store, Cup Foods. Chauvin and three other officers were fired after Floyd s death.
