Two EMTs were fired.

That's crazy. You wouldn't have done anything if you were in that situation. One of the officers was trying to control the suspects hands, but was unsuccessful. How would you expect him to stop the officer sucker punching the suspect when he wasn't even able to control the suspect that was actively resisting after given multiple verbal commands?

The only ones who appear to be on something are the overly aggressive cops. I didn’t see anything to suggest he was high or drunk.

You are making excuses. That's exactly what you're doing. There is no excuse. It's unacceptable. Point Blank.

Disagree. You disobey cops and when you run then you are partly responsible for what happens. It's not a 50/50 ownership but there is some or we are a lawless country. What did he would think would happen when he ran - a handshake, a high five? Did he deserve a beating? Absolutely not, but he could have laid down and surrendered like 99% of people do but he made a decision to roll the dice. What is an acceptable outcome from running from the police - let go with a citations, free to go on your own way because you were faster?

You are a stupid sack of shit. They were literally yelling conflicting orders at him and then beating him for not complying with both.

Did you watch the video? He was on the ground trying to follow contradicting instructions, while HE tried to calm THEM. They wanted a fight from the go. He didn't try to fight them, he tried to run. At a certain point, there should be an inalienable right to try to live. He thought his life was in danger, and it clearly was.

I had to stop watching as he cries for his mom, and isn’t able to sit up on his own. While they discuss how one cop’s knee was bothering him, but it’s not bothering him anymore.

Gross macho talk. So proud of themselves as a man is dying

Right - if you were completely sober, would you comply or run away?

"Suspected aggressive driving"

No video of any aggressive driving released

That's why it's in quotes. The police say he was pulled over for suspected aggressive driving.

There are multiple lies and the police report.

Also reckless driving could just mean 30 miles over the speed limit

He ran - explain it. Sack of shit. Have you worked a job where a criminal ran from you?

Police kill people. Maybe stop killing people in the streets and less people will run from you. I agree with PP. You're a sack of shit.

Yes, I've worked with cops before, and they love to run away when you try to hold them accountable for their crimes.

As the Massachusetts courts found, it is reasonable for black people to flee police given the long history of unjustified violence by police against black people.

If cops pulled me from my car on a simple traffic stop and threw me on the ground and were yelling get on the ground while I was on the ground I would think I was about to be gang raped and beaten so I’d run

If I thought someone was trying to kill me? Yep, I'd run. You also don't always have a choice. Fight or flight is real and sometimes your body decides.
