Do not argue with the court Chauvin trial judge tells witness in tense exchange for George Floyd

Derek Chauvin trial george floyd. #Justiceforfloyd Former Minneapolis policeman Derek Chauvin squeezed the life out of George Floyd while joining other officers in arresting him last May, a prosecutor told jurors in his opening statement at Chauvin’s murder trial in a heavily fortified courthouse on Monday. Chauvin’s lead attorney, Eric Nelson, said in his opening statement that the former officer followed his police training. Off-duty firefighter testifies she was "desperate to help" Floyd Genevieve Hansen, a Minneapolis firefighter and emergency medical technician who was off-duty when she came upon the scene of Floyd's fatal arrest, testified she was immediately concerned about the amount of weight Chauvin was placing on Floyd's neck and the fact that Floyd wasn't responsive. Hansen said she thought Floyd's face looked swollen. She said she saw fluid coming from Floyd's body, and said her "mind went" to patients who sometimes relieve their bladders when they die. She said she identified herself as a firefighter and tried to convince the officers to allow her to provide medical assistance. Hansen said she was "desperate to help" Floyd but officers wouldn't allow her. In tears, she said the officers' refusal to let her help left her feeling frustrated, helpless and "totally distressed." She said officer Tou Thao made a comment to her along the lines of, "If you really are a Minneapolis firefighter, you would know better than to get involved." "That's not right," Hansen testified. "That's exactly what I should have done. There was no medical assistance on the scene and I got there and I could have given medical assistance, and that's exactly what I should have done."
