[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain to me why this cop did t proceed to put him in the car?  What was he waiting for, in theory?  [/quote]

I think he was waiting to feel like the man he was kneeling on was well and truly subdued.  He thought his authority had been questioned, and he wanted to demonstrate his dominance over this man.  [/quote]
Wasn’t he handcuffed?[/quote]

yes[/quote]

Yeah, I also get that this was more to due with the cop feeling as though his authority had been questioned.  The bystanders telling the cop that the guy was in trouble only served to make that cop double down and refuse to take his knee off the man's neck.

There may have been a racial component to this, too. Not sure that's been established.[/quote]

Again, there were three of them on top of him. Three. Three men with guns, one of them with his knee on top of one man with no gun, begging for his life. What are you missing here? [/quote]

Not to even mention... the police was called for the suspicion of a FORGED CHECK. A damn check! How on earth can anyone justify that?[/quote]

Money > Lives, especially black ones[/quote]

Nobody put their knee on the necks of bankers that crashed the economy letting bad mortgages. oh wait, they are white... carry on.[/quote]
