Man!

THAT didn’t take long.

I imagine the lawsuits by the family have already been filed.

Oh come now. The cop only kneeled for 5-6 minutes.

“Was that wrong? Should I have not done that”?

It is common practice in LE, after perps gets frisky, to pin perps neck under control. U see it all the time...If he was combative that is SOP... Stop resisting.
Do what you are told to do.

Thank goodness for the video. Otherwise these BAD cops might have “walked”.

Hopefully, the Arbery video will help the self-defense shooter in the Georgia case also.

The poor guy WAS compliant for a long time before that cop let up. The ONLY reason the cop got off the man’s neck was because the paramedics arrived and took the man.

Wow. Fast. And proper. Much better than the usual “suspended with pay pending investigation which may or may not be done this century”.

You watched the video and this is what you have to say? Wow.....just wow.

I weep for what some Americans have become.

Swift justice. There is no way they should have stayed on his neck 5 minutes. A good cop would have pulled the kneeling cop off him once he was subdued. This was vicious.

From the short video I have seen it appears the cops were very negligent. From past experience I know that sometimes the whole story sheds light on why. Not saying anything in defense of these particular LEO’s. Just saying that sometimes a video lies. (Think Nick Sandmann)
