Knee To Throat
From what I have seen, there needs to be murder charges against the cop who kept a knee to a man's throat after repeatedly being told he could not breathe.
This, however, does not give people the right to loot, steal, and destroy. Watching folks walking out of a store with televisions and other big ticket items makes me sick. They probably didn't even know the man and use a tragedy as an excuse.

Sonny76 : What should they do instead?
 
@ClaudeK : You can demonstrate without looting and burning. Theyre seizing the opportunity to be lawless and take what they want. My guess is only a few even care the guy died.

I follow A LOT of LEOs on TikTok and was happy to see many come out and call the action by the officer and those who stood by and did nothing murder.

This is tragic. I've only seen what was on tv, but it didn't appear the officer was necessarily trying to harm the guy, but rather control him.
 
One thing that always happens in these cases is a rush to judgement and knee jerk reactions. We'll have to wait and see what the reasons were before we hang people. And people want them arrested. That's fine let the investigation play out first. The easiest way to beat a case is attack a sloppy investigation.

Yeah, those peaceful protesters a few weeks ago were a problem with all their guns. I guess this type of protest is much better.
 
Yep, cop should be tried for several crimes here. No excuse for that ****.

@starbound64 : The officer held his knee on the guys neck until he died. There was absolutely no need for that.
