[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an African American, this video doesn’t even disturb me. It’s to the point that it’s so natural. White people hate black people. Always will. [/quote]

Same.

Just look at this thread. We have this video of a man being slowly murdered by a cop, clear as day, and yet there are still posters willing to make excuses.

We have video of the jogger being ambushed and murdered by a group of vigilantes, and posters wanted to talk about his outfit and "wait for the facts."

We have a video of a white woman breaking the law and threatening the black man who had the audacity to confront her with a cop-altercation. We hear her pretend to be breathless and hysterical as she cries for law enforcement to rescue her from the scary black man who offered her dog a treat. And yet posters want to know what happened before, question his motives, and stomp their feet about being called Karen.

My life doesn't matter to you. I get it. I'm so damn tired of this. [/quote]

Co-signing all of this.  It’s exhausting. [/quote]

Both of you are exhausting. Maybe you will have a different (and healthier) perspective if you stop living your life via social media.

There are almost a million cops in the US and you are basing your opinion of them on a half dozen videos that you saw on social media. Life and law enforcement incidents are rarely black and white. The people posting here have an agenda and zero actual LE experience. And if you disagree with them, they just call you names and continue their rant. [/quote]

Go to Youtube and search racist police stops. Even if you choose not to watch, the sheer number of recorded racist LEO stops and interactions, shows the fallacy of your beliefs. You of course, will not do the search.[/quote]

I do traffic stops pretty much every day. You, on the other hand, get your information by searching "police brutality" on YouTube. That's a big difference.[/quote]

Not that pp and I can tell you that I do not have an agenda.  That video was shocking to me.  [b]Is put your knee on a suspect's neck a legitimate police hold?  [/b]I know that we don't know what led that officer to restrain him like that.  Maybe he had been resisting them, I have no clue.  But to actually kneel and put weight on his neck like that?  I have a hard time believing that is the sort of thing taught in training.[/quote]

Hell no! I've seen people put their shin on the side of someone's face to help control them, but never on their neck. You have to understand  that you are dealing with people fighting you and you have to win.

But a lot of this stuff comes down to common sense. For example, even though it's against most dept policy to use a choke hold in non lethal force situations, you could put someone in a choke hold with very little pressure and not do any damage. This guy obviously doesn't know what he is doing. Even if he used a dumb tactic like putting pressure on someone's neck, it's hard to fathom why he didnt change position when he became unresponsive.[/quote]

DP. It's not hard to fathom. The cop was trying to kill him. That is why.[/quote]

Yeah right. While being videotaped?[/quote]
