Ranking members of the Baton Rouge Police are expected to meet the family of a 17-year-old who appeared to be detained using questionable tactics in a recent incident.

Mayor Sharon Weston Broome posted a statement on social media late Sunday related to a video also posted on social media showing what appeared to be a Baton Rouge Police officer kneeling on the neck of a teenager while the teenager was being detained. The teen was later released to his mother, the mayor said.

Gary Chambers posted the video on Facebook this weekend and wrote the teenager was involved in a traffic violation at the time of the incident.
He said the officers involved should be fired: "The officer kneeling on [the teen's] neck [need] to be identified and fired immediately, we don’t need to investigate what we can see on tape. Also the officers standing and not stopping this action need disciplinary action as well."


Sigh

She said the city will seek court approval to release the body camera footage. Court approval is needed because the person invovled in a minor, the mayor said.


Will be delayed

Questionable tactics


If you've ever watched even one episode of Cops, you'd know that kneeling, squatting, sitting, and laying on unruly suspects is standard practice. Whether that practice needs to be done away with or not is a different discussion. But it's completely dishonest to act like every single police department in the country trains its officers to kneel on the necks of black people in an attempt to kill them.

Are we sure he's not just kneeling on the ground next to a chia pet?

Based on the size of that officer's arm it looks like that's a female policehuman.

Cops episodes with suspects having an officer kneel on their neck must be an extended version only thing.

Mayor meeting with police over this but no meetings in the the multiple murders this weekend , record setting murder pace or the incident on Plank/Evangeline where there were over 50 shots fired.

This specific tactic used in this specific incident is in a instructional BRPD handbook.

Last thing we need is something like this in Baton Rouge. All hell can break loose very easily down here. It’s a powder keg waiting for a little flame
