I don’t talk to the police, so my options would be quite limited.

Film it.
But instead of starting the film at the point LE reacts, film the entire encounter and post the whole video so the average couch juror/judge and make a truly informed decision on the events that transpired.
As to this
Be careful because there may be other concerned citizens who see a police officer being attacked and come to his/her aid.

Good question. The easy thing to do is walk away and not get involved. On the other hand, getting involved could quickly place you in the same situation. The issue here is common sense being used if you are an officer. Anyone with a brain knows how easily you can cut someone’s oxygen off by applying pressure to the neck. Driving your knee into someone’s throat while they beg you to stop because they can’t breathe is absolutely inexcusable.
Edit: if you go tackling a cop, go ahead and prepared to get shot

Don't fight armed cops.
Our law enforcement and judicial system is fricked on many levels, exacerbated by shitty cops. That doesn't mean you should be stupid and fight a crazed armed cop.
Let your lawyer do the talking afterwards.

Keep your mouth shut and enjoy your life? Cops mistakenly kill someone daily. It’s just part of life

The only situation I ever been in that is remotely close was at a LSU game in Tuscaloosa. My brother was hammered and arguing with a cop. After having seen them take many LSU fans out the stadium just for cursing, I threw that MF over my shoulder and took him out the stadium myself lol

I’m an upper middle class white guy. I’d tell the police “cease immediately, officer, and free this man” and that would be the end of it.

I probably would call the police

I’m an only child.

I dont understand the video taping and no action thing. If they truly cared they would have tackled the guy. I would have.

I pondered the same thing myself. To be honest, there really is no good option. I have never seen something like that in my life. My personal rule was that no matter what I would never get violent with the police.
But if I had to live with the fact that I watched my brother die in front of my eyes and I did absolutely nothing about it, that would eat me up inside for the rest of my life, even if I was powerless to do anything.
Chances are, I would probably tackle the officer. But that would almost guarantee that I myself get shot, or best case scenario end up with a knee in my neck.
Those options are terrifying

Would like to see a video of that POS officer and the other three getting chocked out in a general population prison cell.

Not a damn thing. Minding my own business.

Great question OP. Would love to hear some actual officers respond to it.
What would you advise a bystander to do in such cases?
What would you do if you saw police recklessly killing your child, parent, etc?
