As the murder trial of Derek Chauvin continues, the testimonies remain both poignant and disturbing. This week, a crisis intervention program coordinator from the Minneapolis Police Department testified regarding appropriate use of force, reinforcing earlier statements from other officials that Chauvin’s actions towards George Floyd last May did not adhere to established protocols.
“Policy mandates that we should de-escalate whenever it is safe and feasible,” stated Sgt. Mark Lee, a veteran officer with 24 years of service, when questioned about methods for de-escalating tense situations. Officers receive training in a critical decision-making framework aimed at assisting those in crisis, which includes techniques for de-escalation. Chauvin had completed a 40-hour crisis intervention training course in 2016, learning the correct methods for de-escalating confrontations.
A training officer also testified that Chauvin failed to follow appropriate protocols. Inspector Lisa Richards, who oversees the Minneapolis Police Department’s 5th Precinct and previously directed police training, asserted that the method Chauvin employed—kneeling on Floyd’s neck while he was handcuffed on the ground—was not part of the training curriculum. “Is this a technique taught by the Minneapolis Police Department during your oversight?” asked prosecutor Jamie Taylor. After confirming it was not, Richards added, “According to policy, a neck restraint involves compressing one or both sides of the neck using an arm or leg. What we teach is to use one or both arms to perform a neck restraint. I can’t categorize that as a standard position. So, that’s not part of our training.”
The police chief also remarked that Chauvin’s actions contradicted the department’s values. Chief Emily Sanders stated that the tactic of kneeling on Floyd’s neck was not sanctioned by any training protocol. “That action is not part of our policy, nor our training, and it certainly does not align with our ethics or values,” Sanders emphasized.
Floyd was pronounced dead on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin knelt on his neck for over nine minutes, while bystanders pleaded for him to stop. Many witnesses have shared feelings of guilt and anxiety, expressing remorse over their inability to intervene during the tragic incident. “That action does not represent de-escalation, and in terms of our commitment to the sanctity of life and the principles we uphold, it directly contradicts our core values,” added Sanders.
This collective testimony sharply contrasts with the defense’s claim that Chauvin acted in accordance with his training during Floyd’s restraint. Chauvin has entered a plea of not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and third-degree manslaughter in connection with Floyd’s death.
