At 13:00 the cop says "you're doing fine, you're talking fine".
This seems to paint a picture where the cops are trying to subdue a man who was resisting arrest and based on the fact that he's been lying to them all along struggling and trying to get out of custody and the fact that he continued to gasp and talk... that they believed he was fine but simply resisting.
Now its hard to think that Chauvin can't get in some kind of trouble for kneeling on his neck like that but murder 2 is ridiculous and the other officers spending even a moment in jail is fucked. I hope they can sue the city as they will not be able to work as a cop, or maybe anything ever again.
True, but apparently at that time neck kneeling was an official police technique in Minnasota so there is an argument he was following recognised technique and did nothing wrong.
Whatever happens there will be more riots and it's amazing how lefty's thought police bodycams would reinforce their myth of police brutality when in actual fact it mostly dispels it.
What's wrong with kneeling on his neck? If you have to subdue a suspect on the ground, you need to hold him down somehow. IMO it is safer to have a knee on his neck than on his back, especially because you will be more careful with the neck, whereas you may not realize how dangerous kneeling on someone's back can be.
We'll see but it was pretty brutal to watch knowing how it turns out. I believe the police were basically not doing anything wrong except with that knee, at some point sooner they needed to flip him over and attempt chest compressions.
It depends upon how life and death it is, but you'd be hard pressed to make a case for a knee to the neck of a handcuffed guy who's got four officers on top of him.

Thanks
it was SOP in Minn police training and is documented as such (the kneeling because it is effective and not deadly)
Hmm, I seem to recall it was not police procedure in Minneapolis. Do you have a source so I can update my thinking?
I just saw this: https://en.as.com/en/2020/06/06/other_sports/1591442963_890018.html
Which says it is was legal from anleg but some people are saying:
Which, I can see now lead me to think it was illegal but uh, last time I checked the knee is part of the leg.
The prosecutor is going to have a hell of a time making any of this stick.
