Philip Stinson, a criminal justice professor at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, described the initial traffic stop as "highly unusual" for a variety of reasons.
"It was not a normal traffic stop," he told NPR. "They were not in marked vehicles, they were not wearing normal police uniforms, and they pulled him out of the car, got him down on the ground and pepper-sprayed him."
Police are generally trained to use a reasonably necessary amount of force to accomplish an arrest, but the police officers involved went "far beyond that," Stinson said.
Officers are supposed to use the least amount of force necessary to bring somebody into custody, but Stinson said the use of force quickly escalated into deadly territory.
Stinson noted that officers have a duty to render medical aid, but the footage showed very little medical support from medical personnel or officers. It took more than 20 minutes for an ambulance to arrive.

That was no procedural error. They wanted him dead and they killed him. That was murder.
“Sometimes the animals cannot be controlled.”
Canine officers have to be big and strong—when I see a small female cop hanging on their police dog and getting dragged it is obvious this is a disaster waiting to happen.
Ya think!?!
“They did not really seem to have an interest in getting him handcuffed, they seemed to have an interest in giving him a beating,” he said.

That was pretty obvious.
Procedural errors like violently beating someone to death?
Yep, I can see that.
Maybe lowering standards is not a good idea?
Hey but at least they have lots of diversity and inclusivity in the PD. That’s much more important than standards.
Even sadder, is there are pole cameras in this area and it seems an entire platoon of cops in their own jurisdiction, had no idea these cameras were in place as they proceeded to murder this guy.
Commercial grade stupidity.
One noted procedural error - don’t beat the subject to death.
Watching video of him calling for his mom was heart-wrenching.
Too many questions...
Why didn’t he cooperate? Was he panicked, or did he think he had something to hide?
Why couldn’t all those officers get him into handcuffs without beating him?
Why did paramedics wait to help him?
Such a sad case...
Haven’t followed. Did he run from them, or did they just pull him from the car and start beating?
They were procedural errors. VET and TEACH!
Lauren Witke on Telegram said 3 of the 5 cops were part of the Vice-Lords gang and they were hired as cops because recruitment levels tanked during the Plandemic.
Yes, on both counts. They dragged him out of his car, pepper sprayed him, and tased him. He got up and ran away. I guess it didn’t occur to them to shoot him in the back. Different cops caught up with him.
Thanks. With today’s journalism you have to really dig.
The start of this? Probably “Our police academy recruit classes are too, uh, white. Get HR to find us applicants of color. Now.”
At least one of the cops got a good dose of pepper spray—and lost his glasses!
Why not wait for the M.E.’s report?
Pretty sure he sprayed himself. As did the other bunch that administered the beating. Elite force.
