you’re not getting my point. I don’t think we’re supposed to have a national police force. I get that police brutality is bad, etc. but there is no evidence in this case that the death rises to a federal matter or even to a level needing the state police. if it does then all deaths do.
I am just tired of the police-civilian problems. Police officers need to remember who they work for. WE the taxpayer of all races, pay THEIR salary. We don’t work for them, THEY work for us.
An unarmed man, already cuffed and lying down in the road, died after a 220-lb or so (now ex-) policeman kneeled with his knee on the guy's neck for 7-9 minutes, even as passerby are filming and some are saying, "stop, you're killing him".
Other policemen -- now known to have earlier used excessive force (knocking a teenager's teeth out) -- stop passers-by from helping the guy on the ground, and appears to be maneuvering to keep the incident from being filmed.
The guy doing the kneeling stayed kneeling on the dead guy's neck for about 2 1/2 minutes AFTER the guys' bowels evacuated...presumably the time of his death.
The paramedics found no pulse when they showed up.
And the guy doing the knee on the neck? Put his hands in his pockets while it was going on. Not exactly a subliminal sign of fear for one's life or safety.
Did you even bother to watch the full video?
