Nelson asking about creds now

 

[turaj]

getting up and shuffling papers around is NOT a good look Mr. Nelson!

 

[UKslueth2018]

Saying he hasn’t been on patrol!!

More of an investigative role.

 

[MsBetsy]

This witness has shown that there was actual ongoing training about what not to do to someone in custody. And Chauvin decided to do those things, anyway, despite knowing it could cause death, i.e., keeping him handcuffed while in prone position. And that doesn’t even include kneeing the person’s neck!

Murder.

This is why I think the jury may find that his actions add up to felony assault.

 

[ElizaKate]

Someone's told Nelson to up his appearance IMO. I was thinking yesterday that the state looks put together, confident, and smart and Nelson looked somewhat casual... Not that looks of the attorney's should matter but it often does in trials as history shows us. Today Nelson is in a three piece with gelled back hair...

 

[UKslueth2018]

Fair to say since 1993 you have not worn a uniform in a daily basis

Not out patrolling streets making arrests

No

Your use of force has been primarily through training

Yes

 

[FinalGirl]

Last physical force was 2018 i bet he didn't expect that!

 

[Algo214]

"Ceremonnial"

Beg your pardon?, that was tacky and disrespectful from Nelson

 

[UKslueth2018]

Talking about force continuum

Asking if he handcuffed peoples

Yes

When was last time you got in a fight

2018

 

[UKslueth2018]

Frequency with which you have to use force doesn’t happen that often

Correct

Your use is primarily from this training

Yes

Need it to maintain licence

 

[ElizaKate]

It's an obvious cross. Fully expected it.

 

[UKslueth2018]

Safe to say you are not a trainer as in the use of force

Correct

You would agree 10 years ago they moved away from trying to hit people to use body weight


I wouldn’t agree with that

 

[UKslueth2018]

As a lt and no 1 Officer I am presuming that your understanding of the use of force includes policy

Yes

They are there to address legal requirements

Yes

There are factors to address whether a use of force is reasonable

Yes

So there is a lot of diff info available for an officer to use

Yes

 

[Weki]

This defense angle is so tiresome! I can’t imagine this is persuasive with the jury. GF was not a serious threat nor was the crowd. This was out of control and unjustified.

 

[UKslueth2018]

Are you aware of critical decision making model

Yes

Officer taking in info constantly

Yes

Would you agree your initial training is a lot different to the academy now

Yes

The tools a lot diff

Yes

Body cams, tasers not a thing

No

 

[UKslueth2018]

Decision making of an officer. Info they have affects decision on force

Yes

Some of that low level

Yes

Is the Suspect under influence etc

Yes

You look at hazards or threats

Yes

Are people video taping, happy or angry.

Yes

I do hope that perhaps someone from LE goes beyond the discussion that he should have discontinued restraints when not resisting, but also give testimony on procedures as to giving aid during medical emergency, especially when a LE contributed to such medical emergency MOO

My prayers first thing this morning have been met with this witness. Hallelujah.

I began prior to trial not knowing if/which charge will be met. I''m moving up now my opinion (which will not be a firm opinion until the jury direction)... that said.

He's clicking the boxes, checking off the check list. And the defense atty is just pizzing off with some of his questioning. e.g. when was the last time you got into physical in the streets etc. and calling him an old school cop.

PFfffffft.

Witness is hitting it out of the ballpark. MOO He's experienced and not defensive, as he KNOWS and TRUSTS that he will have rehabilitation by prosecutors as needed. MOO

He's bringing up if you were in a fight for your life... would you be able to...

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to rehabilitation by the prosecution

 

[UKslueth2018]

You were asked about medical training. What they supposed to do

Yes

And even in assessment of medical situation ther are also a lot of factors

Yes

Basically you first responder

Police officer responsibility is To keep scene safe

Yes

An officer is required if a person is having an emergency to take reasonable steps

Yes

[UKslueth2018]
