Sometimes the knee can slip onto the neck if the guy is fighting back hard, but they try to readjust until he is under control. He added that to sit on a guys neck when he is subdued and saying he can't breath for 10 minutes (or whatever the time frame) is flat out deliberate (not negligent), against training and is frankly murder.
I don't how you can come to the conclusion you did, what that cop did was blatant.

There's no reason to restrain anyone in any way once you have them cuffed and on their stomach, it is really tough to get to your feet once they have you like that
