Idc how long it takes to get the guy planked on the ground and cuffed. You take 3 days if that’s what it takes to do it. 5 on 1 it shouldn’t have taken very long.

He shouldn’t have resisted or run. I’m fully comfortable with cops legally being allowed to step up their level of force if somebody runs. Once they got him in yet another controlled situation in video 2, that force should be back off the table and they should have easily handled it professionally.

Their lack of policing ability and this guy resisting and running is why he’s dead.

Agreed You can't just subdue/restrain a guy and then shrug it off when he dies in your care. I've never seen a person unattended and writhing like that in any of the police shows/body cam videos I've watched - really took me a second to process it. In short - those cops are fricked and they deserve to be


One of those falls while sitting could’ve been the final blow that actually killed that guy.

The sergeant (I’m assuming) has a look on his face of not wanting to be on that scene, or anywhere near those officers.

There is a lot of unreleased footage, none of the officer body cam footage from the guys holding or hitting him.

They also haven't shown the footage that got the paramedic team fired...

I'd ask you to define sizeable, but we all know you won't.

Think they’re on leave, not fired, and I think due to their unreasonably slow response time, not because of something they did on the scene. Details have been pretty vague on them though

How could none of them successfully handcuff him until he was tased, sprayed, beat up, and worn down? Or even 1-2-3 of them as a team get him in cuffs?

I know guys can be squirmy, strong, etc. But, it just blows my mind that these things don't end quicker, with far less violence, especially when the cops have tools to at least temporarily immobilize to get the cuffs on.

They did SO much wrong and probably wanted to beat him into next week. I’ve seen cops blast knowingly bad dudes and then immediately trying to help them.

I imagine they’re legally supposed to attend to him at least a little bit.

And some of the things they were yelling immediately after pulling him over is just wild. I think a cop said get out or I’ll blast you or something like that.

Since when are we yanking people out of vehicles? How long was the stop going on before the cop in video 1 got there?

Those were the most ghetto cops I’ve ever seen. It was like they had zero training at all and were just handed a badge and a gun.

So much for the “cops that look like us” plan.

Define “sizable” and give us a ballpark number.

I'd ask you to read the thread. Plenty of "well he shoulda complied" bullshite for you to see if you'd care to read.

PT says this is just a training issue because of all the cops that quit over BLM.

What’s ironic is that if they had put their knee on his back like George Floyd he would probably still be alive. Since George died of a heart attack and drug overdose.

They can’t use those tactics anymore though.

Have to down vote you on this one. Those cops were nothing more than thugs dressed in a uniform on a mission to kill.

I agree to just comply and follow orders but he had no chance from the start

George Floyd and BLM destroyed any chance at actual police reform, because we can now can’t actually focus on the militarization of police issue because there is always some bull shite race lens thrown on top..which forces both sides to galvanize and refuse any “common ground” arguments.

How serious has this country been at even trying though before George Floyd? How many police departments even had body cameras on their policemen before 2013 just as an example ? George Floyd’s murder was a catalyst for any push for significant federal legislation on policing.

They should be charged but it's really not as worse as it was made out to be. Makes me think people are purposely trying to create riots etc. Was supposed to be the most horrifying thing we've ever seen.

So your definition is “plenty”? That what you are going with?
