Defense witness Barry Brodd, a former police officer and use-of-force expert, told the court that the defendant, Derek Chauvin, followed his training as he pinned down George Floyd with his knee.

St. Vincent's National Emergency Management Organization announced Friday that the volcano had erupted amid ongoing attempts to evacuate nearby residents.

Senior Special Agent James Reyerson changed his own testimony on Wednesday, after first saying Floyd admitted, "I ate too many drugs." The reversal was a blow for defendant Derek Chauvin.

The project involved 44 schools, the names of which a panel had decided honored figures linked to racism or oppression.

When asked if former officer Derek Chauvin's restraint of George Floyd followed proper protocol, Minneapolis Inspector Katie Blackwell said, "I don't know what kind of improvised position that is."

Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican, called the Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act, or SAFE Act, "a vast government overreach." The legislature could override the veto with a simple majority.

Paramedics who treated George Floyd as he lay motionless in the street, testified at then-officer Derek Chauvin's trial on Thursday. They said Floyd was in cardiac arrest and "limp" when they arrived.

The bombastic conservative, who became a popular talk show host, reveled in his reputation as a man willing to go to any lengths to reelect Nixon, saying, "I'd do it again for my president."

The 17-year-old described then-Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin as "kind of angry," adding that "he was digging his knee into George Floyd's neck" and he threatened bystanders with a can of Mace.

"My instincts were telling me that something was wrong," said Jena Scurry, who had a view of the interior of the squad car from which George Floyd was dragged. "It was an extended period of time."
