You really need to go watch the entire video. Citizens (even an off duty first responder) begging the police to at least check for a pulse.

Go watch the video. Eternal vigilance.

Were 4 needed to actually perform the arrest, or were there 4 total, not all involved in the arrest?

Are you a cop apologist, where they can do no wrong?

I think the police need to work on their communication skills and protocol. Maybe have just ONE cop giving orders would be good.

It's almost as if they are trained to give contrary orders. The old "stop resisting" as you lie on the ground with a knee in the neck. Or one screaming hands up while the other screams freeze and a third screams get on the ground.

Nah, to some there’s no such thing as a bad cop-kill. Circular definition- if they did it, it must have been because he was resisting arrest -> if he was resisting, he deserved it.

I am not a cop apologist. I am just skeptical of any case involving a black male and the police. The media presents the most one-sided story they can to make the police look bad and the criminals look good. There is a huge gap in the video. One video shows this man peacefully walking while handcuffed and escorted by one police officer. The next video shows him on the ground with a police officer having his knee on his neck and the man constantly screaming “I can’t breathe.” Why is the media not showing us what happened in between those two events? Answer: What we would see would make the unarmed black male look a lot less sympathetic and explain the police officers’ actions. I want to see what happened in the 10 minutes of video that we do not see. Also, I want to know the autopsy results. For example, if this guy died because he was on PCP and not because he had a knee on the back of his neck, then you have slandered 4 police officers. By the way, there is a really simple way for unarmed black men to not die upon being detained by a police officer. Don’t resist arrest!

You sound like one to me.

How about Justine Diamond, who was murdered by a saracen that fired his pistol in his partner’s face inside their car? What was your initial reaction to that before any information was made public?

That is how Felony Murder charges work. The driver for a get a way car, is guilty of murder if one of his partners Kills a victim of a robbery.

Cops hanging out while their partner murders someone, Felony Murder sounds right.

Cops have shown how much they care about the public, when they berated a mother for her Child playing with a neighborhood friend. Their actions were directed at the public, showing the public how they want to be treated... with contempt.

Stop with the “ murder” they “murdered the guy” “ they deserve prison. Ive seen the video and its pretty disgusting seeing that cop on that mans neck ,but hes not on his throat, hes on his head/ side of his neck. he the cop just sat there on the guys neck never giving him a chance to breathe. its disgusting but mob mentallity is for sheep. are you a sheep? We dont know what went on, maybe the vuy was a timg like he was on pcp? he was loud Nd yelling before the cops subdued him. pcp can give someone super himan strength, thai guy looks huge. Lets let the toxicology reports get in and the investigation finish. before we pass judgement. and btw, that is not a nice neighborhood and its a shooting gallery if you are a cop and white ones are even more highly prized.

This was MURDER. You just have to be amazed at the fact that none of the bystanders opened fire on the killers.

Whatever he did was irrelevant once he was cuffed and in custody. Sad that you would excuse an act of First Degree murder.
