This might be the worst yet. This wasn't a case of an officer having to make a split second decision because he felt threatened. This was a cruel abuse of power. The cop had plenty of time to understand what was happening and get off of the man's throat. People were standing there telling him the man was dying. The victim said he couldn't breathe and he was dying. At some point it seems like the cop would've thought, "Hey, I might need to take my body weight off of this man's throat before he dies."
Seems like an open and shut case. Clear murder here.
When I see these videos I try to gather as much information as I can before I jump to conclusions. Things aren't always as clear cut as they seem. But with this, I don't feel like further research into the situation is needed or necessary. I agree this is a open and shut case.
And then we wonder why there are race and policing issues in this country.
After he got out, he physically resisted officers. Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress.
Body worn cameras were on and activated during this incident.
not all of us wonder...
