Witness: 3 Officers At Floyd Killing Didn't Follow Training

St. Paul (US) (AP) The former head of training for the Minneapolis Police Department testified Friday that the three former officers charged with violating George Floyd's rights did not follow policy or their training when he was killed. A defense attorney, though, said aspects of the training was lacking and that new officers are trained in a culture of obedience. Inspector Katie Blackwell said officers are trained that they have a duty to intervene to stop fellow officers from using unreasonable force. They are also trained on neck restraints, how they should be applied and that they must provide follow-up care because they can be dangerous. But she said former Officers J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao acted in a way that was inconsistent with the department's policies..
