The officer is not guilty for restraining the man. It was the WAY he restrained that man that was improper and, yes, the officer is liable for that.  Unfortunately, the person who is now dead is a man who made a bad choice by resisting the officer in the first place.  The man is the one who instigated the physical altercation in the first place.  I know that you do not want to hear it but that is what happened.  Should he have had his neck kneeled on? No way.  Was that officer on some type of power kick?  Absolutely.  Did the officer use a proper restraint on the guy?  No.

[b]Who is now dead?  The man who physically resisted the officers.  Had he made a different choice, he likely would not be dead.[/b]  You don't want to hear that but that is the truth.  All the protests over his death is not going to bring him back.

Hold the bad officers accountable for their crimes - absolutely.  [/quote]
The very definition of victim blame. The reason nothing changes is because this narrative (which likely isn't even true in this case) always wins in the long run.
