It's an effective means of restraint. That's why it was taught in police academies and used without comment for decades prior to Floyd's coincidental overdose death while under this form of restraint.

Then why did Chauvin continue to keep his knee on Floyd's back for two minutes after they could not find a pulse?

Because he was tired from having to restrain an overdosing man who wouldn't shut up about his mommy while he soaked his pants in urine to try and remove all the drugs he swallowed from his body, so Derek needed to rest his knee. But wait, now it's the length of time he used this unharmful, approved, and taught form of restrain? I thought he choked Saint Floyd to death!! Wow. If you have to move the goal post, not doing any research on the topic, you're really showing your opinion, posts, and thoughts to be as worthless as Floyd's life.

I didn't say Chauvin chocked Floyd to death. You are saying it though; your goalposts. It was also claimed early on that Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck prior to more information coming out prior to the trial.

Are you going to tell me that Chauvin was trained to keep kneeing on a perp after they could not find a pulse? It is rather difficult to resist arrest when your heart is not beating.

So now you're claiming it's a good idea for a tired police officer to rest his knee on a corpse?

Oh, so the knee on the neck didn't choke him, then why does it matter how long it was on there while alive or dead? So you just like asking questions for the sake of sounding clueless on the things you discuss, while being the worst "devil's advocate" you can be. Got it. Welcome to the ignore list, never to be seen again, like George's kid of his daddy.

I did not claim Chauvin's knee on on the perp's neck, it was actually on his back. It appears that you really don't know anything about the incident do you.

The ignore list is for cowards; you coward.

Yes he was trained to use that technique then thrown under a bus.

Was Chauvin trained to keep his knee on the back of a perp for another two minutes after a pulse could not be found to ensure the perp was dead? Probably not.

Cops will do this, I have a relative that's a police officer and he told me that he's got to wrestle someone to the ground almost everyday. People don't like getting arrested. lol..

In my opinion, I really don't like the knee to the neck technique. All it takes is one asshole to die from this and next thing you know, you've got a riot on your hands. But this is what we all agree with on how to handle people that break the law. We may not like it, it's ugly to watch but without law enforcement crime would be 100x worse. Some cities are already feeling the effects of the "de-fund the police" movement and it ain't pretty.

There is no "de-fund the police" police movement.

The only time a police bugdet has been cut is where there is not enough money available to give them.
No city is going to cut a police budget for the explicit purpose of having less police avaialble.

[–] stickman38 (3346) a year ago

Depends on how you look at it. Some cities have reallocated funds from police work to other initiatives. This "defund the police" thing could be seen as an activist's slogan but unfortunately it's had a negative impact on society in which people now think they have a right to break the law. We have spoiled groups of activists that think laws don't mean anything because it's "racist" to arrest people.

I don't have a lot of time to get into details but this wiki article goes deeper into it. The bottom line is, yes, defunding is a real thing in many areas of the country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defund_the_police
