Derek Chauvin Allegedly Used Excessive Force on Woman Before George Floyd Incident

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is accused in a new federal lawsuit of using excessive force by kneeling on a woman's back during an arrest in January 2020, months before the fatal incident involving George Floyd. The lawsuit alleges Chauvin and his partner, Ellen Jensen, violently removed Patty Day from her car, causing injuries, and failed to report their use of force. The complaint highlights a pattern of misconduct by Chauvin and claims the Minneapolis Police Department ignored such behavior, contributing to systemic issues of excessive force and racial discrimination.
