A former supervisor of the fired Minneapolis police officer charged in George Floyd’s death testified Thursday that the officer violated police use-of-force policies in his restraint of Floyd last May.
The sergeant, David Pleoger, who recently retired from the Minneapolis Police Department after a 27-year career in law enforcement, was called to the witness stand by the prosecution in Derek Chauvin’s trial on charges of second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
