These cops should have mastered the technique of speeding to the call at 25 mph with sirens blaring. In the unhappy event he was still there when they arrived...give him a stern warning.
Let society enjoy the world of crime they clearly want.
threat not thread. /typo>
No, you don’t know any of this stuff. You don’t know what dude died of. You don’t know how much weight the officer was putting on him. You don’t know dude was “asphyxiated” because you do not know what he even died of. You don’t know the officer’s side of things. You don’t even know what went on before the knee went on the neck.
And it makes other cops look bad and creates strife.
The best solution here to quiet the masses woudl be charge these cops (all present) with capital murder and if convicted execute them.
That might send a message better despite the fact it woudl probably be easier on them than life in general population
My son in-law is a state trooper. We’ve had this discussion. He would lose his job if he put his knee on anyone’s neck that long.
These guys did not act well.
You can bet that this mayor will play the role of "I am just a bystander", and the sheep will buy it.
“I would like to see a return to walking your beat. Get to know those you are serving. Have a vested interest in the people you protect.”
That’s romantic but it has two problems. One, you ready to pay for about 10 times the number of cops? Or to accept that a 9/11 response will be much slower with a much less well equipped cop who has no ability to do anything to stop bad guys who widely use cars?
And two, that being super close, and really “getting to know people” is a direct path to corruption. The closer you are... the “closer” you are. I give you New York, Boston, etc.
I agree.
Sorry.
Don’t know him.
You seem to have a lot of feelings about him.
Were you close?
In post 35. Put the photo of the low life and his family up, put Argery’s face up. Put Saint Skittles up. Put the gentle giant’s up.
Add the meme “I would never tell a lie”.
You don’t know any of that. You have no idea what dope he had in his system, or anything about his health.
In fear of video photography, a lot of police will now repeatedly yell “stop resisting!” at someone, whether they are actually resisting, or not, or even unconscious or even dead.
“Several of the ex-cops had their backs turned to the guy as their partner killed him”
They were facing the crowd that was gathering around. The crowd assisted in the death by helping distract cops that might have noticed him struggling.
Also, the moron would still be alive if he woulda just got in the car and not struggled for 10 minutes. It’s almost impossible to get someone into a car who bows up and refuses.
There’s no question the actions of this Officer killed George Floyd. To think otherwise has nothing to do with constructive thinking, but justification of murder.
So then, you have no idea? But lemme guess. You are a member of America’s greatest crime solving unit...chicks who watch CSI.
The method this cop used is not part of any police protocol. Then to put his hands in his pockets showed just how pompous he really is.
It does not matter what occurred. He was not reacting in a threatening way at all while in the ground. If the cop feared for his life ( while this man who was handcuffed behind his back ), I’m sure he was taught other measures than to put body weight on someone’s neck for 5-7 minutes.
And even more so if the cop thought he was under the influence, that means Floyd was even more vulnerable.
I think it would have worked out better for everyone had it occurred that way.
let’s put a 180 pound man’s knee on your neck while handcuffed for 7 minutes. 2 others holding down your legs. Let’s see how it turns out.
Wrong:
The Unconscious Neck Restraint shall only be applied in the following circumstances:
On a subject who is exhibiting active aggression, or;
For life saving purposes, or;
On a subject who is exhibiting active resistance in order to gain control of the subject; and if lesser attempts at control have been or would likely be ineffective.
Neck restraints shall not be used against subjects who are passively resisting as defined by policy.
“It is a control technique, so you can make sure that if you control the head, you can control the rest of the body,” Masson explained. “But of course, there are parameters on that. We do a light pressure on there, just enough to stop the threat and we also make sure that, of course, the person isn’t going to be harmed in any way.”
We do not know a cause of death, or how much pressure Chauvin was applying.
