3 of them where holding him down...after he was handcuffed and begging to be able to breathe. “I can’t breathe...Officer...ahg”
The one officer keeping bystanders off the street. Saying he is still talking... In the middle of the video with the idiot still on his neck one of the police officers starts yelling at him to get in the police car! WHAT! George says “I can’t” DUH!
When a bystander begging for mercy gets too close the kneeling officer pulls out his mace...defending his right to kill George!
SO VERY SAD.
Why is that officer not under arrest awaiting charges.
I am going to play a game I learned in my working career..
This game is called Root Cause Analysis....
One of those 4 cops is the senior officer on the scene..
This cop tolerated the behavior observed...
Thereby, this behavior is encouraged by the senior officers..
The senior officer needs to be fired...
This senior officer reports to a sergeant...
The sergeant tolerated this behavior...
The sergeant needs to be fired...
The sergeant reports to a lieutenant..
The lieutenant tolerated this behavior...
The lieutenant needs to be fired...
The lieutenant reports to a captain...
The captain tolerated this behavior...
The captain needs to be fired...
The captain reports to the chief of police...
The chief of police tolerated this behavior...
The chief needs to be fired...
The chief of police is usually an appointed position...
The chief is appointed by a mayor...
the mayor tolerated this behavior...
The mayor needs to be fired...
This mayor was supported by some type of town council...
The town council tolerated this behavior...
The town council needs to be fired...
Root cause analysis...
Bad cops are not hired, they are created. They are created by a command structure that not only allows but encourages this type of behavior.
This type of behavior starts at the ballot box.
