Chauvin trial: Chief's testimony nears; lieutenant says force 'uncalled for'

Chauvin’s defense argues that Floyd’s death was caused from the drugs in his body and his underlying health problems and that Chauvin’s use of force was in sync with Police Department policy. A piece of that argument took a hit on Friday when the head of the Minneapolis police homicide unit testified the use of force officers used on Floyd was “totally unnecessary.” This is an MPR News morning update for Monday, April 5, 2021. Hosted by Phil Picardi. Our theme music is by Gary Meister.
