[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster above, I think it's obvious that this cop had no idea what he is doing. Common sense tells you that you shouldn't put any weight on the side of someone's neck. These guys get minimal training, but that is no excuse for what he did. Trust me, that technique is not trained. I wonder what was going through the heads of the other officers? Did they think that he wasn't putting any pressure on his neck? Putting your shin on someone's face isn't uncommon.[/quote]

I think that the defense will be that he thought that he had his shin against his face.  And that he was holding him down to tire him out so that they could get him into the cruiser.

The guy did physically resist the officer when the officer was commanding him to get out of his vehicle.  And the guy was doing some hard staggering - impaired?  Trying to throw the cops escorting him off balance?  Hard to say.

He wasn't just walking compliantly and easily to the awaiting vehicle.  He was being difficult.  Even so, I do not understand what the officer was thinking kneeling on his neck like that after he was on the ground and under control.  Had they tried to get him to stand up and he resisted?  I just do not know.[/quote]
