An unprecedented lineup of law enforcement officers -- including the
Minneapolis police chief -- took the stand at the murder trial of former
officer Derek Chauvin, denouncing him for kneeling on the neck of George
Floyd for more than nine minutes.
As rare as it is for police-involved deaths to lead to a criminal trial
-- let alone a conviction -- the sight of the top cop and other brass
testifying against a former subordinate is even rarer.
Chief Medaria Arradondo on Monday thoroughly rejected Chauvin's actions
and use of force during the arrest of Floyd last May as contrary to
department policy.
"Once there was no longer any resistance and 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 policy," the police
chief told the jury. "It is not part of our training, and it is
certainly not part of our ethics or our values."
