This IS straight-up MURDER!!! And look at how he just kept his knee on his neck like he was an animal. This is why I call out BAD policing. https://conservativeus.com/video-man-pleads-that-he-cant-breathe-while-cop-keeps-a-knee-on-his-neck-and-dies-shortly-after/

Although this appears to be clear murder, the likely cause of record is Covid.

From this picture (from article), this appears to be in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

Police get falsely accused of wrongdoing. A lot. But in a case like this where it’s pretty obvious, they need to own it and take the punishment in full.

if he couldn't breath he wouldn't have been able to talk or plead....

however, this video shows the absolute stupidity of cops......three cops there that we see and they still had to resort to keeping him face down on the pavement with a knee to his neck....

its hard to defend such tactics...

The cops was telling him to “get up and get in the car” while he has a knee on his neck.

It’s like the cops who beat the stuffing out of a citizen while yelling: “Stop resisting!”

A knee on the guy’s neck until he dies. Whoever trained this cop should be on trial with him.

They need to have better mental health checks in law enforcement. And bad seeds need to be weeded out through training. Too many disturbed people are let in. One example is one too much. This is abhorrent.

Minneapolis, which has a far left government, and a police force just to the right of the Stasi.

It interesting how you find the most aggressive police forces in the most liberal cities.

This is why I can't wait to retire from policing. Out of the millions of daily interactions between cops and citizens that are positive and come off without a hitch, this interaction is the one people will remember and by which they will judge all officers.

This cop will likely face charges, as he should. But the Eric Garner case didn't lead to charges, so who knows?

If he couldn’t breathe, he wouldn’t be able to talk. I’ll wait for the autopsy report.

That poor man.

He died for nothing. He died for a “forgery?”

RIDICULOUS! His family must be compensated, with punitive damages.

People can’t sue the police, apparently, but the officer, maybe his family, and anything he owns is now the property of the family.

I love all police officers and the risks they take every single minute of each day but how the ^*%*$ can you not see this guy was in distress?
Now here comes the 24x7 for the next 6 weeks of this on all news channels. The race baiters will be out in full force.

Looks like MN some place.

Might be the communist community of the Twin Cities?

Make no mistake, that is the Left's goal. To deter good people from wanting to become policemen.
