The commander of the department's training division testified Thursday that officers are trained to use the least amount of force necessary and that they have a duty to intervene against inappropriate force.
Blackwell testified that it is critical to move someone who is being restrained from a prone position onto their side, otherwise "the concern is that they would die in custody." Body camera video shows that Lane twice asked if they should roll Floyd onto his side but was rebuffed. Whether the officers deprived Floyd of medical aid is a key element of the case, and prosecutors have sought to show jurors that responding paramedics were not given important information, and that Floyd should have been given medical attention immediately.
Kueng, who is Black; Lane, who is white; and Thao, who is Hmong American, all are charged with willfully depriving Floyd of his constitutional rights while acting under colour of law. One count against all three officers says they saw Floyd needed medical care and failed to help. A count against Thao and Kueng says they did not intervene to stop Chauvin. Both counts allege the officers' actions resulted in Floyd's death.
what’s more important is the greatest exchange of wealth in the world history that happened during the pandemic that’s the real news, George Floyd was just a distraction so the elite can take your money and rob you blind and you’re just too scared washing your hands to notice.
