Judge Cahill may have told jurors in the Chauvin trial not to watch the news, but there’s no escaping the blaring alarm of curfew alerts across the Twin Cities — PolitiTweet.org

We’re back and Nelson is calling Barry Brodd, a use of force expert, to the stand — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Not entirely clear what Nelson was trying to establish —except that maybe the rookie officers had been trained and Chauvin was not. Prosecutors get Mackenzie to repeat Chauvin had medical training including CPR and had an obligation to render that on someone who was pulseless — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Mackenzie goes through how they train MPD cadets about how to handle people they suspect are suffering from excited delirium. She says people are trained to reposition suspects and for call emergency aid quickly because someone could go into cardiac arrest — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Cahill: "This is not being offered as a state of mind or knowledge of the defendant, since we have no indication on the record that this defendant, Mr. Chauvin, took this training" — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Cahill offers a preface to her testimony saying it is to explain why Thomas K. Lane uses the term in the body camera video: "This is being offered for the limited purpose of explaining why he used the phrase excited delirium on May 25 2020 and what that meant to him" — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Now on the stand is Officer Nicole MacKenzie, who is the dept’s medical support coordinator. She was on the stand last week to talk about Chauvin’s medical training. Defense has recalled her to talk about training on excited delirium — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

The video cuts off as we see eyewitness Charles McMillian talking to someone in a squad car. That’s Chauvin — PolitiTweet.org

The ambulance pulls away and Kueng walks back across the street. Hill begins shouting what happened to him? He doesn’t answer — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

As an ambulance pulls up, Chang tells them Floyd "may have hurt himself." Hill walks to the corner and sees Floyd on the ground and begins shouting to Hall. “He’s on the ground and everything. Oh my god!” — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

“Stay put guys, you don’t want to be involved in that,” Chang tells hill and hall as they inch closer to the corner trying to figure out what is going on — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

The group can’t see Floyd on the ground, but on the video, you can hear yelling — it sounds like Donald Williams yelling at the officers to get off Floyd — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Morries Hall tells Chang his name is “Ricardo.” He tells Chang he knows Floyd from the Salvation Army where the man worked security. Hall/Hill are giving a running commentary of what they see across the street — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

“They’re still fighting him,” Hill calls out. “Oh man, what is he doing?” — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

You see Thao and Chauvin pull up He waves them to the other side of the street, where Kueng and Lane are trying to put Floyd in the squad car. Hall begins reacting to Floyd not getting in the car. “What is he doing?” — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

The video shows Chang approaching the car and yelling at Morries Hall to leave the car alone. He’s now talking to Hall and Shawanda Hill, who are talking to Chang about the car and who Floyd is — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Nelson says clip 2 is about 23 minutes — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

The first clip cuts off after you see Chang begin to look up Floyd’s name on his computer. Prosecutors objected to that information being shown. Now going to clip 2 — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

As Chang pulls up, you hear Lane say over dispatch “code 4.” He steps out of his car, and you see Kueng questioning Floyd, who is handcuffed and seated on the sidewalk — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

We’re now about to see clips of Chang’s body camera, which we haven’t seen before. — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Chang testifies he was asked to keep an eye on Floyd’s car and the individuals inside. He recalls the crowd at the scene were growing “loud and aggressive” and that he was concerned for the officers’ safety. But he stayed with Floyd’s car. — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Chang said he heard 320— Kueng and Lane— announce they were taking someone out of the vehicle and dispatch asking for assistance so he responded to the scene — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Now on the stand, Minneapolis Park Police officer Peter Chang, who also responded to the scene at 38th and Chicago. — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Prosecutor Matt Frank asks Hill if Floyd complained of shortness of breath or chest pains — again trying to rebut the defense argument about Floyd’s case of death. She says no. — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Hall: "So he instantly grabbed the wheel and he was like, please, please don't kill me. Please, please don't shoot me. Don't shoot me. What did I do to somebody? Please, please don't shoot me." — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Hill says she woke up Floyd when police approached the car. He looked up when Lane tapped the car with a flashlight. She told Floyd to wake up that the police was there. They looked back and saw Lane now had his gun drawn and she says Floyd immediately grabbed the wheel — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Hill begins to say Floyd was tired because he was working. There’s an objection, the answer is stricken. Hill rolls her eyes. — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Hill says they were sitting in Floyd’s car and she was on the phone with her daughter when Floyd suddenly fell asleep. He was asleep when the Cup Foods employees came to the car — PolitiTweet.org
