Once you have a guy cuffed, there's no reason for that.  And to my knowledge that tactic in particular was something that officers are trained against.  

I think First degree Murder with the pre-requisite aggrivating circumstances would be impossible to demonstrate to obtain a death penalty, but the officer with his knee on the guys neck, that couldn't pose a threat because he was restrained, and outnumbered is probably facing an Elbow.  

I am pleased to see the resident arbiters of fairness and impartiality expressing their general prejudice musings about conservatives and people from the "deep south"  IT warms my heart a little.

Putting a knee or foot on someone's shoulder, armpit and isolating the arm, or the neck does eliminate the ability to get up. They should only do that until he is cuffed and secured. The video shows nothing that happened or was happening other than the 1 officer. I guess he resisted arrest and he was trying to move, so that will probably be the excuse. It takes very little force once someone is cuffed to restrain him. The fact that he had his hands in his pockets show he wasn't really struggling too much. You are supposed to restrain someone to protect yourself and them, they could get up and run into the street and get hit and sue, but they had enough cops there to handle that. It wasn't 1 on 1.

I just don't know why people think they can win against a cop. If a cop attempts to arrest you, it is over. You will either be arrested, tasered, shot, or killed. You have to just stop, lay on the ground and put your hands behind you back. You can fix the situation afterwards, but you can't fix getting hurt because you resisted. It doesn't matter what race you are, you just need to wait because any actions will only make it worse.

I don't like people in positions of power abusing the power and/or lying. I have to refrain from calling them out on their bs because it just makes it worse. Normally don't have issues with cops, but mainly TSA.
