Minneapolis police chief tells court Derek Chauvin went against department policy, ethics by kneeling on Floyd’s neck.
Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo testified on Monday in Derek Chauvin’s murder trial that the former officer did not act within the police department’s policies and ethics when he placed his knee on George Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes. “Clearly, when Mr Floyd was no longer responsive, and even motionless – to continue to apply that level of force to a person, proned-out, handcuffed behind their back – that in no way shape or form is anything that is by [the] policy,” Arradondo told the court. It “is not part of our training and it is certainly not part of our ethics or values”, Arradondo said.
