What's wrong with kneeling on his neck? If you have to subdue a suspect on the ground, you need to hold him down somehow. IMO it is safer to have a knee on his neck than on his back, especially because you will be more careful with the neck, whereas you may not realize how dangerous kneeling on someone's back can be.
We'll see but it was pretty brutal to watch knowing how it turns out. I believe the police were basically not doing anything wrong except with that knee, at some point sooner they needed to flip him over and attempt chest compressions.
It depends upon how life and death it is, but you'd be hard pressed to make a case for a knee to the neck of a handcuffed guy who's got four officers on top of him.
