Don’t know what the cops knew or what they saw him do. Was he in the gang connected to the cop killer in Jersey City, a few miles away? A cop was shot to death by the Bloods, and they made a shrine to his killer. I am sure all police have quick triggers right now, and that is to be expected.
If you don’t want to be dragged to the ground, then don’t resist arrest.
If the cops say turn around, you turn around. I don’t want to live in a society where people do not have to listen to the police. I also don’t want to be abused by police, but I did not see that here. He resisted and invited the violence, which was restrained. Frankly for his size, this was not abusive but warranted force. No blows were delivered, and the choke hold was not prolonged.
This amount of force does not kill a human being, this person had other health issues.
If it turns out the man was being wrongfully harassed by police when then that changes the situation.
Cities are going to start burning and the cops will be lighting the match.
