    If he wasn't resisting he wouldn't be on the ground.

    If someone had a knee on your neck you’d be struggling to breathe too.

    If someone had a knee on my neck, I'd be fighting for my life!

    I was taught that move in the Army. It is used by Scouts and Spec Ops to silence enemy guards. Done properly (full weight on the neck), it will knock an enemy out in a matter of seconds and kill shortly thereafter.

    A knee on the neck is not a strangulation as most people understand the term. The goal is to restrict bloodflow to the brain by blocking one of the major blood vessels in the neck (where you can feel your pulse). Starving the brain of blood will render the victim unconscious very quickly, and WILL kill more quickly than simple strangulation. There is also a method that will snap the victim's spine.

    The officer in question's use is an unsanctioned technique of torture. Buy reducing the amount of weight applied to the victim's neck, the bloodflow to the brain is limited, but not fully cut off. This extends the amount of time the victim suffers.

    This was a clear and deliberate act on the part of the officer. This was a statement to the witnesses. This was the officer demonstrating his power over the people. And THAT is what people are protesting against.

    We should not fear the police. The police are supposed to be the helpers, the keepers of law and order.

    I have been very fortunate that MOST (not all) of my encounters with police officers have been handled politely and professionally by the officers. However, I am also so white I almost glow in the dark. I cannot truthfully say that I believe the outcomes would have been the same if I had not been white. And THAT is a problem that needs to be approached and fixed.

    It was overdone by that cop but I don't think he wanted to kill the guy. It was all too convenient for some to jump to conclusion that it was racially motivated. It happened to an ex con resisting arrest is all I need to know. Things like that typically don't happen to casual people walking their dogs and minding their own business.

    Take a read of this

    https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAKegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw0xumj_rQ0dOPzD4ze3oGoU

    It's long, but informative. If nothing else read the summery. One of the things that stands out for me is 7% of police officers thought is was accepatble to use force in response to verbal abuse.

    If you don't think there are officers who abuse their power just look at the number of lawsuits that get settled. Considering officers have qualified immunity from most lawsuits, just the fact that it got past summery judgement and was settled is telling.

    Or just go to you tube

    Can someone help me figure this out.
    A white cop kills a black man everyone protests.
    Last weekend ten black men in Chicago were killed by black men and no one protests.
    Do black lives only matter when white cops kill them.

    Pardon me but I am tired of social media and FB and TV...I need to buy a property in Montana and seal myself off from the outside World. My wife showed me some FB threats and calls for the rioting mob to enter "White Neighborhoods", even though a least one property in my area is owned by an African American family.

    I believe that United States of America is the best country in the World.
    Despite all the cultural, religious and ethnic diversities and very large population. Countries of the similar large populations such as China, Russia would disintegrate into anarchy if allowed real democracy there.

    I believe it is all possible because of the still existing respect for the Law and Order.

    Due to the 2nd Amendment (which I use and support myself) citizens of this country could be extremely lethal, so has to be the police force to balance it or vice versa.

    Considering the above....It is true that training and better prep screening should be needed for the police force candidates, but you can't demand perfection. We don't want law enforcement to be ####### but we cannot expect them to have aversion towards aggression either. Such human characteristics don't come hand in hand. So we need to understand that, unfortunately, things like that happened, do happen and will happen. I just cannot stand they want to make a racial war out of this.

    We can think of Western Euro democracies. BUT First of all, would you want to abolish 2nd Amendment but even worse yet, does it not make you sick seeing those powerless eunuchs?

    Yet those "powerless eunuchs" have a lower crime rate,with far less murders.
    And a smaller prison population.
    Something to think about.;)
