A former Minneapolis police officer charged in George Floyd’s killing testified Thursday that he didn’t act on another officer’s suggestion to roll Floyd on his side after he stopped breathing, didn’t ask Officer Derek Chauvin to check for a neck pulse and didn’t try to get Chauvin off Floyd’s neck.
She pointed out that Floyd stopped talking after about 4 1/2 minutes and asked if it was a “red flag.” All three officers are accused of depriving Floyd of his right to medical care. Prosecutors have argued that the officers violated their training by not rolling Floyd onto his side or giving him CPR.
A use-of-force expert testified that Kueng used “very minimal” force on Floyd and that holding and stabilizing him for the ambulance was proper.
