What are your options if you witness the cops killing someone?

After watching the cop kill that man in Minnesota, I started wondering what options the people standing there, witnessing this, might have?

If it was my brother, after pleading with the officer to no avail, I'm sure I would have tackled the cop to relieve the pressure off my family members neck and just endured whatever beating/shooting the cops gave me.

But as a bystander, I'm not sure I would have done anything different than the people standing there?

Pretty much the only thing you can do is film it at that point. They already racked up one dead body, I’m sure they don’t mind racking up a second one

Then you'd both end up dead.

Family member, get involved. Bystander to a complete stranger walk away and don't get involved. I'm not saying that walking away is the correct answer or I'd be ok with myself for doing that. But me getting involved will help zero.

It’s not my business, I’m not winding up dead because another guy couldn’t follow a directive from a cop. Whether the cop is right or wrong, if you fight them, you will lose.

Tough call all around. Family member = for sure intervene. Stranger, mehhhh.

I do think, however, we have a civic duty to step in for things like this. I believe had the filmers advanced on the knee cop, both cops would've gotten up which would relieve the pressure on the dead guys neck.
