Arrest report

Here is the entire arrest report for Derek Chavin, the Minneapolis police officer that is accused of killing George Floyd. I got this from the Law of Self Defense blog, written by attorney Andrew Branca. If you want to understand how self defense law works, his blog is a great resource. He does charge for access, but it isn't much. I will only include the complaint, I will not repeat Mr. Branca's professional opinion here.

When a criminal complaint is filed, every word is important. Read the complaint, and remember that it was written by the prosecutor. Most importantly, read the account of how Floyd was resisting arrest. That is something that was not seen in the video.
