A literal police officer is currently on the stand WHILE YOU ARE WRITING THIS saying Chauvin's use of force was "totally unnecessary" when taking into account the facts, the department policies, and their training. On what basis do you dispute this expert testimony?

Explain specifically what should have been done to restrain a potentially combative person who is much larger and stronger? How would a responsible officer do this alone?

Chauvin wasn't alone so this question is irrelevant.

Where the hell were the other officers? Certainly not helping restrain Floyd. What were they doing?

Also Floyd wasn’t combative. Why do you keep saying that when evidence shows the opposite

[Anonymous]

The other officers should have been helping. Maybe one of them should’ve been cuffing Floyd’s ankles. No way Chauvin should have been responsible for restraining Floyd all by himself.

[Anonymous]

They should have just let Floyd go, who cares what petty crimes he’s committing. That is the answer.

Didn’t George say ‘He couldn’t get up, he would if he could’, to Mr. McMillian when he told him to just get in the car.
Another sign that he was not a threat.

He was handcuffed and laying on his stomach. At that point, whatever threat level the officers felt was greatly reduced. A lieutenant is on the stand right now and he testified that the use of force (knee on the neck) was unnecessary.

They probably should cuff the ankles as well in certain cases.

The Lt. testifying right now addressed this. He said the threat level is still greatly reduced even if the person tries to kick; you can move out of the way.

Yes, he said this.

Floyd must have been a threat at some point though. Why the need to restrain then? No way should Chauvin have attempted or have been expected to do this alone though. Why didn’t any other officer assist?

But the suspect could run away.

If I remember the line of questioning, he was specifically asked about an individual in the prone position and handcuffed.

He was hand-cuffed because he was being arrested for a fake 20 dollar bill.

How did Floyd end up on the ground and why? Where were the other officers?

[Anonymous]

Why wasn’t Floyd put into the back of the patrol car? How and why was he on the ground?

There is several video footage on this, google it and hold your breath because it's very sad.
