Documents: Derek Chauvin held a teenager down prone for 17 minutes

Long before Chauvin held George Floyd down for more than nine minutes, police bodycam video shows he held someone else down for nearly twice that long. Court records say it happened on September 4, 2017. The person being held face-down – with Chauvin’s knee on his back – was a 14-year-old boy. State prosecutors wanted permission to use the 2017 incident as evidence in Chauvin’s murder trial, but the judge ruled against that. Courts often limit how much can be said about prior cases. So, the jury never heard about it – and the bodycam video has not been released. In an official filing, prosecutors detailed what happened – often second by second. They wrote that “33 seconds after telling him to come out of the room” officers “grabbed” the boy. “Just eight seconds” after first grabbing the child, they say Chauvin hit the teenager with “his flashlight.” “Two seconds later,” they say Chauvin “grabbed the child’s throat” and “hit him again in the head with his flashlight.” And that’s not all. Prosecutors wrote that Chauvin then “applied a neck restraint, causing the child to lose consciousness and go to the ground.” That’s when officers handcuffed him in “the prone position” and Chauvin placed his knee on the boy’s back. Before long, the boy regained consciousness, complaining “he could not breathe” while his mother pleaded with Chauvin to get off him. He didn’t – even though prosecutors say the boy was already handcuffed and was “actively bleeding” on the floor. Prosecutors told the court the bodycam videos show Chauvin kept the boy pinned down – with his knee still on his back - for almost 17 minutes. Story: https://www.whas11.com/article/news/i...
