The official indictment and training manuals for the Minneapolis Police Department are examined regarding the death of George Floyd. While the knee-on-neck tactic is listed as a non-deadly force option in the manual, the specific incident is analyzed through the lens of potential underlying health conditions and "acidosis" resulting from a struggle. The officer faces third-degree murder charges as the legal process moves forward.
