Lt. Johnny Mercil was in charge of use-of-force training at the Minneapolis Police Department during the time of George Floyd's arrest. Mercil said using a knee on a person's neck is not a trained MPD neck restraint, but "isn't unauthorized" when using force. However, he confirmed that once a person is handcuffed and under control, the technique would no longer be authorized. He said he does not believe Derek Chauvin's use of force would be authorized.

Chauvin faces three charges, second-degree murder, second-degree manslaughter and third-degree murder in the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody in May 2020.
