That's not exactly true. Active resistance as seen on the camera puts the officers at risk.
So, I wait patiently now for the cop hating mob to show up.
“Active resistance as seen on the camera puts the officers at risk.”
And they are paid to accept that risk. Police are some of the only people who can take away your freedom with their words alone. This makes it paramount that they be men of the highest moral character. There are currently more police positions in America than there are moral men.
If you have watched the video, the whole thing, then you surely will see what was done was not right.
If you or I, caught an intruder in our home, we could shoot him on sight. But if somehow we disarmed him, drug him out in the street, and kneeled on his neck until he died, we would be brought up on charges.
Kneeling on a guy's neck until he dies, when he's already on the ground, and cuffed, and with the guy begging that he can't breathe --Hint for you JBT fellators. He wasn't faking. He died.--
and bystanders begging you to get off of him
and your buds running interference against anyone trying to help him
and trying to keep bystanders from filming it
Anyone but cops doing that?
Murder one that same day, all four denied bail.
And all you can do is gargle JBT jizz over wild fantasies of "active resistance" putting officers at risk.
The didn't have to drag him out of the car. They could've put chocks on his wheels and waited him out. Or arrested him later. They had his ID and license plate.
It was over a bad check for $20, supposedly.
What part of "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't count? Oh, that's only for government officials, and then, it becomes, "innocent EVEN IF proven guilty." Someone else on another site suggested posting the ex-cops' home addresses on social media.
If you prevent real justice, you inspire mob "justice".
“Active resistance as seen on the camera puts the officers at risk.”
Also puts the public at risk. At that point the police officers do not know the intent of the man. He could have a gun to start shooting with.
Not a cop hater. I saw the very video where the cop had his knee on the neck. The news media is reporting the knee was on the neck for 7 mins. Would like to see the full 7 min video proving this.
That is not a good place to put a knee if you want to keep the person alive to face a judge for what ever crime he committed.
The short video of the man resisting arrest does not justified his death. Maybe we have some body cams to give us more info.
I have never had police training before is this a standard method (knee on neck) for controlling someone?
The officer standing up watching the knee on the neck have the responsibility to tell the other police officer to be careful don’t kill him?
How did the knee get to the neck if is not standard? Did it slid down. I would like to hear the police officer explain this. It might be bad standard practice they use on every suspect who resist arrest. I am not train police officer so I do not know.
Should the news media / public hold the entire police department accountable for bad actions/training of the few?
I understand why they are mad, they should wait to see what the courts do before burning a town and hurting local businesses that did not have anything to do with this.
