Did you bother to read the Statement of Probable Cause against the kneecap ex-policeman?
Perry Mason couldn’t save him.
Read the Probable Cause statement against the now ex-policeman. There is a single, uncut, unedited, 9-minute-or-so long video of the victim on the ground in handcuffs, with the now-ex-policeman’s knee on his neck the entire time. When he says he can’t breathe. When bystanders say a neck hold is dangerous. When he passes out. When they beg him to get off of the victim and check for a pulse. When a fellow policeman holding him down feels for a pulse and tells him there isn’t one. For two more minutes after that.
He didn’t move the knee. He didn’t perform CPR. He didn’t even double check for a pulse itself.
This is both a civil rights violation (once you’re in cuffs, the police become responsible for your safety). And not performing CPR as a first responder, on a guy in your care, when a policeman tells you he doesn’t have a pulse?
In Minnesota, they have a word for that. “Depraved indifference”. It’s in their definition of 3rd degree murder.
