MI Police Chief crossed examined by Chauvin defense
The Minneapolis Police Chief is testifying against former Officer Chauvin in the George Floyd trial. His dept use of force policy is being closely dissected. Surely, our Legal, Training, and Executive Bureau's are recording this testimony for further discussion. Expect adjustments to our SOP to follow.

Your naive to think there won’t be additional SOP changes after this trial. Despite this being and open and shut case, there will be loose ends to tie up regarding use of force policy. I trust that our dept is closely monitoring the trial to learn from other agencies mistakes.

"Once Mr. Floyd had stopped resisting, and certainly once he was in distress and trying to verbalize that, that should have stopped," Arradondo testified during Chauvin's criminal trial.
I’d say Chauvin should’ve stopped even before that. He knew Floyd was verbally tapping out and he ignored him.
He knew the minute Floyd’s arms went slump it was the same as tapping out. That should’ve been enough.

Be careful what you wish for. One of these days you might be involved in a situation that according to you is not criminal in nature, but someone died in your hands and the MSM and the SAO goes after you. You will be fighting for your life, and you wouldn't want other cops judging you before all the facts come out. In other words, don't spit up in the air, because it may land on you on the way down.

Not sure what type of case the defense will put on but in my opinion the defense attorney is going way to lightly on all the states witnesses. What you saw yesterday with the Chief’s testimony is exactly what cities and departments are aiming for when selecting someone to “lead” their department/agency. The effort to disassociate themselves with a “cops cop” as a leader is their main objective. The new City of Miami new chief is another example of this. Constructing and authoring policy to restrict their officers as opposed to protecting them from baseless claims and accusations. The defense needs to fight to save this officers life and in doing so needs to focus on the lack of experience and expertise of the states witnesses, which they are not doing. Opinions are being submitted as opposed to facts..
This trial regardless of the outcome is going to serve as the reason to either blame doe continued “Mis policing” or for wearing our position as a profession.
Instead of addressing the behavioral issues which led to the justified encounter and the Escalation of the situation by the subject, we use the outcome as the mechanism to invoke police brutality and systemic racism.
It’s unfortunate either way as one person is deceased, another is facing life in prison for doing his job, and a country is divided further than other while some take advantage of the incident for political and monetary gain.
