MINNEAPOLIS - Former Officer Derek Chauvin was justified in pinning George Floyd to the ground because he kept struggling, a use-of-force expert testified for the defence Tuesday, contradicting a parade of authorities from both inside and outside the Minneapolis Police Department. “It’s easy to sit and judge ... an officer’s conduct,“ Brodd testified. At one point, Brodd argued that Floyd kept on struggling instead of just “resting comfortably” on the ground. While Floyd was pinned to the ground, a relatively new officer at the scene had mentioned that Floyd might be suffering from such a condition. ___Find AP’s full coverage of the death of George Floyd at: https://apnews.com/hub/death-of-george-floyd___Webber reported from Fenton, Michigan.
