LIVE: Derek Chauvin Murder Trial Resumes in Minneapolis Over Death of George Floyd

LIVE: Derek Chauvin Murder Trial Resumes in Minneapolis Over Death of George Floyd WorldViralMedia 6 Views • 4 years ago

(Apr. 7) The parade of Minneapolis police officers rejecting a former officer’s actions in restraining George Floyd continued at his murder trial, including a use-of-force instructor who said officers were coached to “stay away from the neck when possible.”

Lt. Johnny Mercil on Tuesday became the latest member of the Minneapolis force to take the stand as part of an effort by prosecutors to dismantle the argument that Derek Chauvin was doing what he was trained to do when he put his knee on George Floyd’s neck last May.

Several experienced officers, including the police chief himself, have testified that Floyd should not have been kept pinned to the pavement for close to 9 1/2 minutes by prosecutors’ reckoning as the Black man lay face-down, his hands cuffed behind his back.

According to testimony and records submitted Tuesday, Chauvin took a 40-hour course in 2016 on how to recognize people in crisis — including those suffering mental problems or the effects of drug use — and how to use de-escalation techniques to calm them down.

Sgt. Ker Yang, the Minneapolis police official in charge of crisis-intervention training, said officers are taught to “slow things down and re-evaluate and reassess.”

Records show Chauvin also underwent training in the use of force in 2018. Mercil said those who attended were taught that the sanctity of life is a cornerstone of departmental policy and that officers must use the least amount of force required to get a suspect to comply.

Under cross-examination by Chauvin attorney Eric Nelson, Mercil testified that officers are trained in some situations to use their knee across a suspect’s back or shoulder and employ their body weight to maintain control.

But Mercil added: “We tell officers to stay away from the neck when possible.”

Nelson has argued that the now-fired white officer “did exactly what he had been trained to do over his 19-year career,” and he has suggested that the illegal drugs in Floyd’s system and his underlying health conditions are what killed him, not Chauvin’s knee.

Protesters Clash With Police In Brooklyn Center After Deadly Officer-Involved Shooting
Brooklyn Center police say an officer fatally shot a driver Sunday, leading to rising tensions between protesters and law enforcement at the scene Here are the latest updates:

8:01 p.m.: Protesters are continuing to push law enforcement back

7:59 p.m.: Law enforcement has deployed tear gas into the crowd of protesters

Brooklyn Center police say officers pulled over the driver, who they say had an outstanding arrest warrant, just before 2 p.m. on the 6300 block of Orchard Avenue As officers were trying to arrest the driver, police say they tried to get back inside their vehicle An officer then shot the driver, who then drove for “several blocks” before hitting another vehicle in the area of 63rd Avenue North and Kathrene Drive No one in that vehicle was hurt
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the officers involved were believed to be wearing activated body cameras at the time of the shootingvvv

This deadly police encounter comes just one day before the start of week three in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the now-former Minneapolis police officer charged in the death of George Floyd.

A crowd began to gather at the scene in Brooklyn Center later in the afternoon, including several people who had attended a St. Paul rally earlier in the day for the families of people killed by police. At one point, just after 6 p.m., protesters tore down crime scene tape, with the crowd and the victim’s family demanding answers from law enforcement.
The victim’s mother spoke to the crowd, who said her son — 20-year-old Daunte Wright — had been killed by police. She said Wright’s girlfriend was in the car with him at the time of the traffic stop. Police say that woman suffered non-life threatening injuries in the crash, and was taken to North Memorial Health.

Wright’s mother said her son called her to say, “Mom, I’m getting pulled over,” and, “They’re asking about insurance.” She said she then heard officers telling him to get out of the car. When he asked why, officers told him they would explain once he got out of the vehicle. She said officers then told him to put his phone down, and then she heard someone telling her son not to run.
