Chauvin's Restraint On Floyd's Neck Isn't Taught By Police, Use-Of-Force Trainer Says

Lt. Johnny Mercil, who has been in charge of teaching the use of force in the Minneapolis Police Department's training division, says former officer Derek Chauvin's use of his knee on George Floyd's neck is not a technique the police teach when instructing officers how to restrain people.

Mercil is the latest in a string of police officials who are testifying about the department's training and Chauvin's use of force against George Floyd, who died in police custody last May. Chauvin's is facing murder charges.
