There’s a video of the officers trying to put him in the cruiser and at the last moment he started to resist and the video cuts off. Floyd ended up pinned to the ground for good reason and the MSN is making sure you don’t see that.
.........If he resisted getting into the police cruiser, then pinning him to the ground was justified. I will grant ya that one....However! After the man was flat on his stomach, hands behind his back and cuffed, there was absolutely NO justification for that officer to apply downward pressure to the vulnerable neck area with his leg or knee. And do so for 6 to 8 minutes?? That officer could have applied limited pressure to his upper back, to his lower or mid back area or to his butt to maintain control............What that officer did goes against proper training and proper protocol. And that comes from all of the LEOs that I know which happen to be 27 of them.
So Daveinjax.....You can try and justify the officer's actions all you want and sincerely believe he was justified all you want. If that is the case, then you sir are not familiar with LEO training guidelines and proper policy protocols.
