No one argued he didn’t. However any attempt to spin what these cops did as justified is flat out Moronic
He was cuffed and a non threat, he was out numbered 4 to 1.
He resisted going in the car. Cops threes him to the ground, fine.
However they then kneeled on his neck not only until he was inconscious but for several more minutes.. no threat to anyone. They killed him, pure and simple and the attempt to claim their actions are somehow justified is indefensible.
Stop the nonsense folks.. just stop. The cops actions cannot be whitewashed. I have no problem they threw him to the ground after he resisted (already cuffed btw) getting in the car.. but kneeling on his neck and even at one point having a gun drawn and pointed at him while prone and subdued is not in any way justifiable.. or justified..
The cops screwed up, no excuse or justification can be made for kneeling on a man’s neck until he is unconscious and then continuing to do so for several more minutes. Only to finally relent whenthe emt’s you called when he passed out demand you to get off him so they can check his pulse.
Stop trying to find justifications for these cops actions, they do. It exist. In no policy for restraint is kneeling on a man’s neck allowed..
They killed this man, cops are people and some of them do bad things. Intentionally or unintentionally... these cops did a very bad thing, stop trying to spin this. Just stop.
wow...now there was a gun drawn and put to his head while he was prone??....really??..i missed that part. Thanks mr judge and jury...
Yeah, no need for a trial, or for all of the evidence to be collected and presented.
Two incomplete video clips are enough to determine all of the facts of the matter and convict all four cops.
But ask yourself one small question: Why has Ellison not released the body cam footage yet? Because it makes the officers look worse? Or maybe it dilutes the narrative?
Dunno, but the lack of curiosity in the media is...suspicious.
