Zimmerman testifies that once a suspect is handcuffed "the threat level is just not there.” He says MPD officers are trained on the dangers of having someone handcuffed in the prone position because it restricts a person’s ability to breathe. — PolitiTweet.org

Zimmerman: "Once a person is cuffed, you need to turn them on their side or have them sit up …Your muscles are pulling back when you're handcuffed. And if you're laying on your chest, that's constricting your breathing even more" — PolitiTweet.org
