I was never a policeman, but the "knee on the neck" maneuver seems a tad excessive when used to restrain an unarmed and handcuffed person who is already in prone position on the ground. Especially when the prone and handcuffed suspect is surrounded by 4 police officers.

“Is it possible to arrest somebody without hurting them?“
“ABSOLUTELY. We’ve been doing it for years.”

Not as excessive as holding a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach

Funny how the post starts with " I was never a policeman" but then goes on telling you what a "Policeman" did wrong. Complete Joke. Thank God you were never a Policeman. For are public's sake.

To address the OP, the Black community wants the police to be there - and they want even MORE of them to be there.

This is not about the illegal actions of the perpetrator.
It's about the improper actions of the cop after the criminal was under control.

Oh, okay then...I stand corrected. Two smart guys like you and Elkabong can't possibly be wrong. The policeman who knelt on George Floyd's neck for 8 minutes did NOTHING wrong.

 Keep digging that hole brother. As usual, you completely misinterpreted my post. You put your fear of being wrong in front of everything and everybody. Armchair Quarterback, who has never played the game. Keep going, it is entertaining

Answer to the first question does not matter.

You can refuse searches. Never consent.
Btw the one trend that I hated was
“Stop”
“Sniff”
“Search”
Good narc dogs are few and far between. They are an excuse to search.

You must be confused. I don’t think the contact with Floyd was just a car stop. I think he was passing fake cash?

It doesn't look like he was throwing punches or trying to injure the cops.
Believe it or not, his behavior should've been expected because his type of resistance happens all of the time.
Floyd was in cuffs, so as soon as he stopped resisting and exclaimed "I can't breath" the cops should have sat him up and called for an ambulance.

Exactly right!

When I was a 911 operator in Charlotte (2009-2010) on 3rd shift I would get calls from older black men and women begging for more cops in the neighborhoods. All I could do was pass the request on to the watch commander in their area via text message. It was sad.......
