It appears to be a particularly egregious massively inappropriate use of force.

They were telling him to get up and get in the car while one of them still had his knee on the guy’s neck/head.

“They were telling him to get up and get in the car while one of them still had his knee on the guy’s neck/head.”

Sort of like the Mesa cops who told the pest exterminator to stand up and lay down at the same time...then killed him, an unarmed white man. What in the hell are they hiring for cops these days?

I think the police need to work on their communication skills and protacol. Maybe have just ONE cop giving orders would be good. I know if it was me (as the perp) I would already be highly stressed and listening to a bunch of various commands from different people would confuse me even more.

That concealed carry guy that got killed at the Costco in Las Vegas years ago. Four cops waiting for him as he exited the store. All of them yelling different orders. “Show us your hands!” “On the ground”, “On your knees!”, etc.

Or the recent video of Arbery (”jogger”) when he was in the park. The one cop had already searched him, and the other cop comes and tries to taze him when he wasn’t cooperating quick enough. “Oh yeah - I already searched him....”
