Noe one has yet covered my question though, what police official, or other official, made the assertion that the Floyd restrain was within policy?

Oh, as far as an official saying it was "legal" I can't recall. 

If only there was someone to be held accountable for his officers' training. Maybe someone who was ultimately responsible for department policy?



I get what you're saying, but the chain of command is ultimately responsible for the actions of staff. There were multiple complaints against the department for the technique. There were multiple complaints against some of the officers involved for excessive force (although I can't say if there were previous complaints against the officers involved for that technique, I've never heard). As long as leadership passively accepts incidents, those maneuvers will continue to be used.

Cobra Kai students used distasteful tactics. Johnny Lawrence found out and shut that down. Police officials should be more like Johnny Lawrence.
