spez/ downvotes are ridiculous. A police officer is going to encounter people that are FUCKED UP out of their minds. that doesn't mean they deserve to be slowly strangled to death. IF that is indeed what happened.
I didn't say it wasn't a factor, but police are supposed protect and serve. It sounds ridiculous to say we tried to get him in the car for ten minutes and we couldn't so we strangled him for eight. And not being able to get him in the car seems to be that he was just falling on the ground not wanting to get in. if this guy was running around with a machete that's one thing. I support police but I've seen enough of them on a power trip over minor shit to know it's a bad thing. for everyone.
You SHOULD have said it wasn't a factor, because it's COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT. I don't care what a suspect did in the past, not 1 year ago, 1 minute ago or 1 second ago. If a person is not, at the present time, endangering the life of an officer or anybody else, then the officer has no right to use lethal force.
Even if the guy was like "I'll get in the car" and was like "psych" over and over for 10 minutes, it does NOT give the officers right to use lethal force. Just force him in the lockable car designed for EXACTLY that! There's NO excuse for this behavior.
I am not defending the actions of the cops in this, but have you fought someone non stop for ten mins? It will exhaust you very quickly. UFC fights are 3 five min rounds with a one min break in-between, I have seen people gas out in the first round.
Four cops were not physicallyfighting him for ten minutes. Did you see any guns drawn? He was not being violent. Being difficult does not equal violence.
Dude, it's cops versus one single man. It wasn't a street fight, it was the guy being resistant to getting into a car for ten minutes. I work in direct care for the mentally retarded and have to routinely do takedowns on our more violent men. Sometimes, I've held someone down for twenty minutes (our policy to only hold for no longer than twenty minutes), let them back up only for them to act violent towards me again, back to the ground. Longest time I've gone thru these twenty minute cycles for is a straight two and a half hours.
No excuse for these cops. Also, the cop in question has a looooonnngggg rap sheet of excessive force and police brutality. Fuck that guy.
At one point a spectator said, "Just put him in the car."
The other officer replied, "We tried to do that for ten minutes."
Oh wow ten minutes. So fucking what.

Its matters and is an important factor and no I still don't think a 7+ minute neck hold was valid in any way.

Putting words in my mouth and you make nice assumptions too.
"seems to be that he was just falling to the ground"
We both agree he should not have been kneed on for 7+ minutes 3+ of which the guy was unresponsive.
From all the video I have seen the cop in question deserves jail time period so stop being fucking weird.

"We tried to get in the car for ten minutes but couldn't...now what?"
"Fuck it, let's kill him."
This.
Do you know why this is happening?? Bc police is on testosteron and are recruited gammas who are getting offended and scared of everything.
Alphas whould never kill a guy this way only dick measuring gammas are so vicious and fragile.
