Common sense should have told him that what he was doing was unnecessary. If not in him then maybe in one of the other officers present. Or, he could have listened to the voice of Floyd or the several people shouting at him. What he did was idiotic And he has brought disgust and shame to all LEO's everywhere. What he did was his fault. Not some outdated policy.
I agree with the overall concept of this video. Police have an obligation and duty to provide care. Rallyguy has a point about this being an approved technique at the department in certain situations. We see in this RUclips video that the courts are critical of officers putting their body weight on a persons neck (See 4:10 of video). So you have to wonder who will be held accountable among the high level supervisors for even teaching a tactic like that? You can bet that a point of debate will be if the officer met the policy's standards when he used the technique. This will likely be his defense in the future as he will more than likely be subject to civil and maybe criminal proceedings. We'll see what the investigation finds.

You say at around 4:50 you aren't aware of any department who uses this technique. Well, a little research shows Minneapolis PD does allow this technique as a an approved use of force.

Solid analysis.
You say at around 4:50 you aren't aware of any department who uses this technique. Well, a little research shows Minneapolis PD does allow this technique as a an approved use of force.
He said he wasn't "aware" of any. He didn't say he researched anything. But glad you're the critic here.
No, they do not "allow" this technique. Many people are saying that, their policy does not state such.
