Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThis has been a recurring point among those with law enforcement experience. That no department teaches this type of submission hold.
I still think that was very wrong, but I wonder if there is a background with the Marines and PTSD that might have aggravated the situation.

Chauvin was not the only officer on the scene that day with a history of complaints against him.
Former officer Tou Thao had six complaints filed with internal affairs, one of which was still open, according to the public summary released Thursday. The other five complaints had been closed without discipline.
Chauvin and Floyd were bouncers at the same night club, but I don't know if they knew each other, or worked there at the same time.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Here's a question. He was charged with murder, right? My understanding was that for something to be murder, it has to be premeditated--there is little indication the cop was actually trying to kill him. Wouldn't this be manslaughter? Or is this a case of trying to frontload charges so they don't have to go below manslaughter in a plea bargain?
