Well, you know, we don't know the whole story. There could have been prior things that led to this. This guy, now dead, might have been involved in something prior.

And gosh, if the guy had only stood still, listened to commands and and answered the questions.

Let's wait on the facts before rushing to judgement about this.

Its clear to me another case of racist cops, they all hate black people and want to rid the world of them, we have to act now to stop it,
Thats what the news wants us to think

Looks Bad. Not much different than a choke hold IMO.

I've had to do this to combative people before in my career to get them under control. The difference though is that I made sure they could breathe and more importantly, when another officer arrived, they helped me to cuff the person and control them by other means.

Point being, you do not keep someone in a position like this for very long.

Ya only a dumbass wouldn't know that...u cant restrict bloodflow or oxygen to brain very long...that guy needs find a different career

Serious question
How do you talk when you can’t breathe ?

Positional asphyxiation?

The whole story would be nice but looked like they had him under control to me.

And this will happen the same day pigs start to fly.

The only real link to police brutality and racism that I see...……..is the group of people that want to cause trouble and not comply with LEOs. Does that make it racist? Or is there a lack of understanding within that group to comply with the LEO? DO WHAT YOU ARE TOLD TO DO!!! Agreed, a death should not have occurred here, but wouldn't simple compliance have resulted in a different outcome?

It's disheartening to see the ones that commit minor infractions die that way

That cop belongs in jail

They gone burn the city down now before they even know any details

Hold your judgement until all the facts are in including the autopsy and toxicology tests. Guy sure was moving his head and neck around a pretty good bit and talking clearly for that officer to have had him completely locked down with the knee. Once he got him in cuffs, he absolutely should have removed his knee. That said, I am betting that the guy was doped up on something and the sudden exerction of fighting with the cops and adrenaline dump probably caused him to cardiac out. It has happened before many times. Happened in a situation with an employee of ours one time. Guy was walking to work and tossed a banana peel into a guy's front yard. Guy came running off the porch and attacked my employee with a pipe. My employee punched the guy in the side of head and dropped him and took off running. 45 min later cops show up and arrest him for murder, there at work. Toxicology tests and autopsy comes back and the guy had evidently smoked a 5 lb crack rock right before the incident. Sudden exerction adrenaline surge of jumping off the porch and charging our employee caused his heart to basically explode. Employee was cleared and instead of being charged with murder was charged with littering if you can believe that. Let's just wait and get all the facts before we say the cop killed him by suffocating him with his knee.

totally different situation. Yes its possible the guy in the video may have had a heart attack anyways. But leaving him in that position increased the likely hood, continuing to apply pressure to the neck that long after dude went limp is gonna be what hangs the cop though.

He’s done being a cop-

All four officers involved with this incident were terminated.

Minneapolis is run by socialist liberals and Muslims, so maybe that is a good thing.

It's a shame, it really is a beautiful town.
