“The unconscious neck restraint shall only be applied … 1. On a subject who is exhibiting active aggression(
subject in this case was crying
for his mama and telling the officer he couldn't breathe.Is that "active aggresion" There was no fight in him for the last 8 minutes of his life.)
or; 2. For life saving purposes,(
nobody's life was saved by this, no way to spin it otherwise.)
or; 3. On a subject who is exhibiting active resistance in order to gain control of the subject;
( control was obviously gained, so much so that the arresting officer was able to keep his hand in his pockets, think about that, the guy was so under control the officer didn't need his hand anymore.)
and if lesser attempts at control have been or would likely be ineffective.”
They could have thrown his ass in the car at any time.
You don't have to be an america hating liberal to see that this officer went overboard. I would even suggest that the majority of conservative white men could easily tell from that video that cop could have got off him about 8 minutes earlier than he did.

They all scream states rights until it’s convenient to blame trump for not doing anything. What I read is that he invoked that act of 1809 or whatever and IS sending active military to all cities being over ran. This act gives him the right to take over the states over ruling governors at least on a temporary basis
I'm all for States' Rights. But when you're the president you have the ability to make a difference. Bitching about governors and mayors being weak and not doing there jobs is not productive in any way. And no, he has not sent any active military anywhere, except to clear out a street so he could take a picture at a church with a bible in hand. If I'm wrong please tell me exactly where the military has been sent, because there's cities being overrun all over the damn place. New York is at the top of that list and those assholes haven't even got the brains to call in the national guard.
