The way Derek Chauvin restrained George Floyd before he died — placing his knee on Floyd's neck while the man lay on his stomach — is widely discredited by experts because it can cause suffocation. But it is allowed in Minneapolis.
Jon Shane, an associate professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice who specializes in use-of-force studies, said officers are allowed to use deadly force only when a suspect presents an imminent danger. "I didn’t see anything in that video that showed a deadly force situation."
The report says a suspect may appear to be resisting if the airway is blocked:"The natural reaction to oxygen deficiency occurs — the person struggles more violently." "When somebody says, 'I can’t breathe,' that is a medical emergency and you get EMS to treat them right way," Peters said."Because at that point, the suspect becomes a patient."
Minneapolis does. Its manual allows"compressing one or both sides of a person’s neck with an arm or leg without applying direct pressure to the trachea or airway." Moreover, the Minneapolis Police Department's policy uses outdated terminology, Scott said. There's no such thing as a"non-deadly" force option. The proper terminology is"less-lethal," Scott said, which recognizes that force has potential to kill if misused.
