THE MINNEAPOLIS OFFICER
REMAINED ON TOP OF A MAN
HANDCUFFED AND PRO MORE THAN
ENOUGH TIME TO KILL JOY AND YET
NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TO CHANGE HOW
THIS COUNTRY LOOKS AT
THE TACTIC THAT KILLED HIM WHEN
I LOOKED AT GEORGE BOYD'S FACE
I SEE MICHAEL MARCIO YEARS
BEFORE THE DEATH OF FLOYD,
THE STORY OF MICHAEL MARSHALL
GENERATED FEW HEADLINES BEYOND
THE STREETS MARSHALL WANDER HE
WAS ENTERTAINING TO SAVE
EMPOYLEES HIS NIECE NATALIA
COME STAY AT MY HOUSE AND
SISTER BRENDA HE DISAPPEARED A
LOT ALWAYS LOVED HIM AND HE
LOVED THEM ALL ALWAYS SAME.
HE WAS DIAGNOSED PARANOID
SCHIZOPHRENIC, PARANOID
PARANOID CONSTANTLY BUT NEVER
REALLY ANGRY.
NINE DAYS BEFORE HE DIED EVERY
DENVER SHERIFF DEPUTY RECEIVED
THIS EMAIL A WARNING REALLY
THANKS TO AN OPEN RECORDS
REQUEST WE FOUND IT DO NOT PUT
WEIGHT ON AN ARRESTEES BACK
SUCH AS WITH YOUR KNEE FOR A
PROLONGED PERIOD NINE DAYS
LATER, DENVER POLICE DISPATCH
FOR DENVER DEPUTIES IGNORED
THAT WARNING FROM THE TIKTOK
COME OUT WE HAD A WE MAKE
THE THENM GOT THE DENVER
INDEPENDENT MONITOR FOUND
MARSHALL REMAINED PRONE,
HANDCUFFED AND UNDERNEATH
OFFICERS FOR NINE MINUTES AND
TWELVE SECONDS THEY NEVER GOT
OFF.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY NEVER GOT
A MARSHAL WEIGHED LITTLE MORE
THAN 110 POUNDS WHAT THEY DID
TO HIM IT JUST HURT AND I JUST
SIT THERE AND I'LL WATCH HIM
AND YOU KNOW HE'S DYING AS YOU
WATCH THIS VIDEO WHEN YOU SEE

GREENSBORO, MARYLAND ANTON
BLACK FIVE MINUTES 56 ROWN JUST
OUTSIDE TUCSON, ARIZONA, CARLOS
LOPEZ NINE MINUTES 42 SECONDS.
WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA
JOHN NEVILL SEVENTEEN MINUTES
22 SECONDS.
OH MY GOD.
THAT'S ABSURD.
IT'S KEEPING THAT PRONE
RESTRAINT POSITION.
YEAH, THAT'S UNFATHOMABLE.
SETH STOUGHTON NO SO MUCH ABOUT
PRONE RESTRAINT.
HE TESTIFIED IN THE TRIAL
OF THE OFFICER.
YOUR HONOR, THE STATE CALLS
SETH STOUGHTON NOW CONVICTED
OF MURDERING GEORGE MALLOY
SWEAR OR AFFIRM THE PENALTY
OF PERJURY.
HE COULD NOT TALK TO US ABOUT
THAT BUT HE COULD TALK TO
US ABOUT THIS ONE.
SOMONE HAS BEEN RESTRAINED.
THEY SHOULD NOT BE KEPT RIGHT
ABOUT ONCE HANDCUFFED.
THE RULES CHANGE, MAN RELAX AND
THERE IS NO LONGER AN EXCUSE
FOR AN OFFICER WHO CLAIMS NOT
TO KNOW THAT IF YOU FOUND ME A
GROUP OF OFFICER WHO SAID I'VE
NEVER HEARD OF THE RISKS
OF PRONE RESTRAINT, I WOULD SAY
THAT EITHER THEY WEREN'T PAYING
ATTENTION OR THEY'RE LYING.
IT'S JUST THAT FOUNDATIONAL IN
POLICING FOUNDATION THANKS TO
THIS WARNING SENT TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FROM
THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
IN 1995, AS SOON AS SUSPECT IS
HANDCUFFED, GET HIM OFF HIS
STOMACH.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
DRAMATIC CHANGES IN OFFICER
ACTIONS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TURNING
SOMEONE 90 DEGREES AND YET NOT
EVEN THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE
AND POLICING ACT LEGISLATION
THAT'S ALREADY PASSED.
THE U.S. HOUSE ADDRESSES THIS.
IT BANS CHOKEHOLDS BUT NOT
PROLONGED PRONE RESTRAINT.
YES, NOT EVEN A PROPOSED LAW
NAMED AFTER GEORGE FLOYD
ADDRESSES THE ONE THING THAT
KILLED SOMEHOW SOME WAY.
WE JUST WANTED TO STOP
THE MARSHALS EVENTUALLY SETTLED
WITH THE CITY OF DENVER FOR
THREE MILLION DOLLARS.
WE FOUND AT LEAST 126 MILLION
IN SETTLEMENTS AND VERDICTS
NATIONALLY.
AND IS IT CLEAR THAT ONCE YOU
HAVE SOMEBODY HANDCUFFED AND
THEY'RE PRONE YOU GOT TO TURN
THEM OVER, GOT TO TURN THEM
OVER?
DENVER'S POLICE CHIEF PAUL
PAZIN ISN'T GOING TO WAIT FOR
STATE OR NATIONAL LEGISLATORS
TO CHANGE THE LAW.
HE SAYS IT'S TIME.
THAT IS WHY WE CAME TO YOU AND
ASKED PERMISSION TO USE THIS AS
PART OF OUR TRAINING.
THEY'RE DOING ALL
.
. AFTER
. AFTER WATCHING OUR INITIAL PERSON INVESTIGATION, HIS
TRAINING OFFICERS DECIDED
THEY'D USE PARTS OF OUR REPORT
IN THEIR TRAINING FOR ALL
DENVER OFFICERS MOVING FORWARD
TO STRENGTHEN THE CULTURE SO
THAT WAY WE CAN PREVENT
TRAGEDIES LIKE YOU'VE
DEMONSTRATED IN ROWN AND AFTER
OUR INITIAL INVESTIGATION AIRED
IN MINNEAPOLIS THIS OLYMPICS
THAT CAN HAPPEN UNDER A WIDE
VARIETY OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT
POLICE DEPARTMENT MANDATED
PRONER STRAIGHT TRAINING AS
WELL.
WE THE JURY IN THE ABOVE
ENTITLED MANNER AS TO COUNT ONE
FIND THE DEFENDANT GUILTY SINCE
THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD AT
LEAST SIX MORE PEOPLE HAVE DIED
THE WAY FLOYD UNDER THE BODIES
OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
CHANCES ARE YOU'VE HEARD
OF NONE WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION
ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO
TAKE TO STOP THIS ABOUT TIME WE
DID WE'VE REACHED OUT TO
THE OFFICES OF THE FOUR
COLORADNS MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
WHO HAVE COSPONSORED THE GEORGE
FLOYD JUSTICE POLICING ACT.
ALL ARE DEMOCRATS.
ONLY ONE HAS GOTTEN BACK TO
US STILL REALLY LIKE TO KNOW
WHY THIS ISSUE HAS YET TO BE
ADDRESSED.
THE BILL IN CONGRESS RIGHT NOW
BANS CAROTID NECK HOLDS BUT
THERE APPEARS TO BE AMPLE
EVIDENCE MORE PEOPLE DIE FROM
THIS FROM ROWN RESTRAINT THAN
THOSE NECK HOLDS.
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
FOLLOW UP ON THIS, KYLE.
THERE IS A LOT OF WORK THAT
STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE
NATIONALLY, CHRIS.
EVERY TIME YOU DIG INTO THIS
I WRESTLE WITH WHAT WE TALKING
ABOUT IGNORANCE OR ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT INDIFFERENCE?
AND AS YOU HAVE LAID OUT,
THERE'S SUCH A TRACK RECORD
THAT SUGGESTS THAT THE POLICE
OFFICERS SHOULD KNOW THE NATURE
OF THIS AND NOW THE QUESTION IS
FOR LEGISLATORS DO YOU NOT KNOW
THE DANGER?
I THINK A LOT OF THEM DON'T AND
I THINK POLICE OFFICERS THEY'RE
NOT PAYING ATTENTION IF THEY
DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE
NOW.
NOW THE ISSUE GOES OVER TO
THE LEGISLATORS TO DECIDE IF
THERE'S SOMETHING THEY CAN DO.
CONGRESS AND OTHER ENTITIES
HAVE ALREADY DECIDED THAT
CHOKEHOLDS NELD ARE FAIR GAME
