Yep 100% his mom had that same training manuel in the video. I now have a college buddy who was a minneapolis cop on disability he left the force with pdst because of the riots. Not sure exactly what happened but I'm not going to ask him it must have been bad and I am sure the mob was in his face nonstop.Fish Felon wrote:Chauvin went by the book, couldn't have been anymore by the book, and by book I mean the training manual he was routinely given by the city of Minneapolis that spelled out how he needed to carry himself under virtually every scenario imaginable. He had to attend mandatory in person training days every six month to ensure he wouldn't forget what he was supposed to do in the field.
And when it comes to George Floyd...to him an unnamed perp who was arrested for committing the federal crime of creating and using counterfeit currency to purchase a pack of cigarettes.....who then was OD'ing and allowed to get put of the car by the rookie cops who detained him, one being a black man who joined the force because he wanted to help bridge what he saw as a racial gap between the MPD and the black citizens....an officer who was on his third day.....
Chauvin wasn't the arresting officer but when he saw that the perp was allowed out of the squad to lay on the ground face down exactly where he wanted and chose to be on 100% is own accord.....
As the senior ranking officer at the scene with a couple of freshed faced rookie, Chauvin had to make a point that despite a perp seeming as if he was overdosing, they still needed to be restrained....because why? Because a million or more perps have faked medical conditions to avoid being arrested, and some of them have faked OD'ing only to get out of the cop car and Whoops! There they go....turns out they were just faking it in an attempt to flee.
So Chauvin used one of the most standard and time honored restraints ever, a knee restraint to the neck, just like he'd been literally taught time and time again.....
And the reason for him choosing to use it was simple and very logical.
Floyd was a big fukcing dude and he could've overpowered Chauvin if given that opportunity. He wouldn't have used a knee restraint if it was a little old lady who just got arrested for counterfeit money and supposedly OD'ing in the back of a cop car, let out, and now face on the ground.
Floyd posed a physical risk more than an old lady and that's why Chauvin was required to use the restraint he did. So he had the leverage he needed to restrain him due to the size disadvantage against him and Floyd.
He did everything he was supposed to and was a good cop. What do you think you'd do if you showed up to the scene of a couple rookies arresting a big ass black dude who they let out of the car because he was supposedly OD'ing? They weren't medics....they didn't know if he was faking. But they obviously must've thought he was actually OD'ing because they called the medics trying to save him.
So Chauvin had to show the rookies that you can't be afraid of a perp simply because it's some big black dude, and they absolutely need to always be restrained as a ward of the state. That's their fukcing job....that's what the state orders and trains them to do.
If you have a problem with that then your problem is with the state, and not with anything those men did on duty working for the state EXACTLY how the state had trained them to do.
