    Did you watch the video? The guy was handcuffed lying on the ground. The cop applied his full weight on the neck of this victim and held it for a very long time even though his victim was lying motionless.
    Resisting arrest doesn’t excuse such behavior by cops.

    "you struggle with police officers common sense dictates that you should EXPECT to be hurt or killed.."

    That should be an acceptable standard, whatever happened to protect and serve?

    I am not saying i disagree in this instance. But handcuffs may minimize a threat they do not eliminate it.. why wasn't he cuffed and put in the back of a cruiser is my question..
    I have no problem with the cop kneeling on his neck to get him subdued, but for 10 minutes? Highly questionable.

    If the guy was a threat. Subduing him is protecting and serving.

    This does seem excessive.

    LOL. Truth.

    That and also the inconvenient truth that just as many whites, maybe more, I’d have to double check, are killed by police.

    LOL. I know he was being sarcastic. I agreed with his post. He was responding to some lunacy.

    I am assuming that you’re being sarcastic? Or do you also believe what Andrew Jackson said about what is taught in police academy?

    So, if he won't stop fighting they should just let him go?

    stun gun while arrested should be the new policy, it wouldn't be torture since most stun guns make the perpetrator unconscious.

    How much of that could have been avoided if the cops weren’t cowards and thugs with a badge? Why are you excusing such inhuman behavior?
    It’s a very simple question.

    You know tazers fail as often as they succeed don't you? I'm thinkin more K-9's. They can't out run 'em and the perp is easy to locate in the dark.....just follow the screams.

    Twice as more, actually, despite committing less violent crimes than blacks.

    It's weird.

    "This was not a cop who froze or made a bad call or shot when he maybe should not have. This isn't even second degree heat of passion murder. It was first degree!! He murdered that guy, and still choked him after he was dead, like abuse of a corpse."

    He WAS NOT RESISTING ARREST.


    He was face down on the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back and motionless.


    IF he was resisting arrest WHY DID THE COP HAVE HIS HANDS CASUALLY IN HIS POCKETS?

    Funny place for a cop to have his hands if the suspect is "resisting arrest ""

    Plus the officers knee was on that back of the guys neck.
    It the guy couldn't breathe then how was he able to talk.
    Try Talking if you can't breathe.
    Then another example of some black guy being taken off
    and then dying.Like Freddie Gray.
    I dint appreciate the attitudes of whoever the officer was that
    was taunting the black on the pavement.That adds to apparent motive
    for cruel & usual use of force.
    But like Rodney King ... a simple solution need be addressed.
    Don't fight with cops after being caught.
    Seldom ends well.Don't forget there's been a rash of Cop
    Killings,many go unreported.

    Because if you can't teach an old new dog tricks,then the
    same applies to certain groups of felons.
    Blacks literally commit more felonies against other blacks
    than any other group in the U.S.
    But since the Black Vote is considered sacrosanct in the U.S.
    the Democrat Party looks the other way.
    Or Lies as in Trayvon Martin.
