If the criminal doesn't run he doesn't ever get into the situation of being tased or dragged and he also doesn't get into a wreck.


I don't understand this mindset. Just because someone else "started something" does not mean respondents are just automatically free of any culpability, irrespective of their specific actions. Thats not the way our world works.

Also, there’s a dead guy

Exactly. Looks like he won't be trying to run away from the cops anymore, amirite??


If I wanted upvotes I'd try to pass that off as mine, but alas I don't think anyone would believe me, nor would I feel right about it. So I will say "just joking" and await a few downvotes instead.

What made this clear to you? The high speed chase, the resisting or the failure to comply?

Serious question, and I ain't trying to be cute or anything, but was Rodney King a case of his failure to comply thus reaping the consequences? That's not some bleeding heart mambi pambi bs, it's a genuine effort to figure out if and where the line may be.

During the course of going into the Capitol and going all the way to the hallway leading to the chamber, you honestly don't think any law enforcement told her or her group to stop or stay out?


The blm guy was by her and watching his videos, no. He just was able to walk rt in and around without resistance from individual officers.

There are other videos of guys talking to uniformed police telling them to be peaceful but not to leave.

Others with people being escorted by uniformed officers.

I mean you seem like a dude that just screams insurrection without knowing shite.

And Louisiana officials from Gov. John Bel Edwards on down repeatedly refused to publicly release any body camera video of Greene’s arrest for more than two years, until last week after AP began publishing videos it obtained.


Interesting.

Just like the people that defended Chauvin


People that accuse St George of being a felonious POS who basically died from an OD does not equal people supporting Chauvin. I never met GF or DC. From what your media has shown, one is a DBag and the other a POS. frick them both.

Not here to compare different events or circumstances. After watching this video multiple times, I don’t know what else the Troopers could have done to make sure the s suspect was under control. He fought cuffs fo almost 15 minutes. I don’t know how they could have handled this situation any differently to force compliance and secure the site.

I guess they should have let him go after 10 minutes of trying to get handcuffs on him.

For two years the cops told the family the man died in the car crash

Hell I just appreciate your politeness. Thanks for that.

And fair enough re: the comparison, it may've been a slightly unfair question to begin with. One thing in particular that they severely dropped the ball on was leaving him chest down for any length of time immediately upon successfully cuffing him, much less leaving him prone like that for the duration. I believe that's specifically taught to police to avoid due to significant risk of fatal heart and/or breathing issues, most especially am overweight suspect who's heartrate is already topping out immediately subsequent to extreme physical activity. I think that's the central issue in terms of the excessive force leading to death aspect of the investigation.

And it seems the crash or complications from the crash killed him because the police actions certainly didn’t.

No they didn't.

Clear your hate and break down the video again.

Damn shame he died but, he didn't help himself.

Imagine how many people would be alive if they would just not run from the cops. do what the cops tell them, don’t resist arrest, and don’t try to fight the cops.

running from the cops is not a death sentence, unless you’re a fascist

How did they set anything back? Are you that obtuse that you can’t recognize needed force? You’re the problem.

Really? You pull a gun on a teller and no one can take you down?

You break into a house and no one can do anything to stop you?

Play that out and let me know how it works out.

This is probably not the board for you. Have you tried the O-T Lounge?
