he didn't "choke him with his knee", he wrongly used is knee to try and prevent him from moving. He placed it wrong AND for too long, which is what he will be paying $$$$$$$$$$$ for forever along with likely jail time.So thats the only thing wrong? So what is an acceptable period of time to choke someone with your knee? Do you think it's okay to choke someone for 5 minutes or is 10 minutes okay? Or maybe choking someone until the stop resisting arrest with their hands tied behind their back and die is okay. You're a picture boy for why people hate police.

You need to understand what positional asphyxiation is; and again i have strongly said this whole thread the officer is in the wrong, that if i had been there personally i would've stopped him, and that i am ecstatic that the officer was fired...so how does that make me the "picture boy for why people hate police" again?
A knee to the back is not deadly.This practice of placing a knee in someone’s back should be outlawed. Numerous people have died from it.
Citizen writes bad check, gets knee to the neck and dies.Just let this be a lesson to all of you law breaking heathens that think you can get away with passing a bad check. Oh and if you're a wealthy actor you can buy your stupid kids into college and get by with a fine and covid-19 release from jail, because, we wouldn't want anyone to get sick and all. The justice system is broken.
You missed the obvious cause of him being asphyxiated, the cop had his knee buried in the guys throat. You are a typical cop that makes excuses for your coworkers missteps that injure or kill another person. Step up and be a man and admit that your dumb ass coworkers are killers and you cover for them because you belong to a brotherhood that protects each other no matter how bad you behave.A knee to the back is not deadly.
The issue is that the guy died of likely positional asphyxiation due to:
-being on drugs
-having underlying health conditions
-the struggle with police
-being placed on pavement, handcuffed behind the back which made breathing more difficult with those circumstances
-having the officers lay on him, but the officer placing the pressure on his neck rather than his back, caused his arms to be strained more and preventing proper heart/lung functions
All of these factors caused his death. The police should've handcuffed him and even forcefully got him to ground and then transitioned to sitting him up next to the vehicle.
This training is no different than what medical staff do every day when they physically restrain patients who are intoxicated/combative/altered mental status/criminal/psych
These officers did not follow that type of training and that is the issue
And just like that....Are you serious?
Your opinion is by definition, your view and judgment of a particular situation. You literally made the statement that you believed they had a "decent chance" at self defense, this implied that you utilized your personal judgement to formulate the qualitative chances and thus your belief in such.
Take this weak sht back to the football forum.
