But this cop belongs in prison. He's a murderer. May not have intent or have premeditated it, but he killed this man and for no reason


You can hear him saying "I can't breathe" in the video yet they kept piling on.

So let me get this straight: a suspect resists arrest, and during the process of being restrained starts complaining about ______ (fill in the blank), and the cops are supposed to stop and worry about his safety?

Here's the problem with that, almost all of them bitch, whine, argue, and complain during this process. How is law enforcement supposed to determine the diference between those crying wolf and and actual suspect in distress (especially, when the cops life might very well be in danger)? The answer is simple - when you resist, you forfeit your right to be heard or reasoned with until you are safely restrained.

Again, I've witnessed this crap with our youth for the last 15 years in the public school system. No accountability, it's never their fault, always an excuse.

They "kept piling on" because he kept fighting them.

As the link in the OP says ( which you didn't read) perps being arrested routinely say many different untrue things, "I'm pregnant" "I have AIDS" "I have a bad back" in their attempt to get the policeman to release his grip so they can get loose or harm the policeman.

The police are taught to not let up until the person is cuffed and secure so that he can't injure the cop.
