It showed a mildly resistive subject, an officers who could have put a better effort into deescalating and calming the subject.
Ever try and reason with a multi convicted violent felon high on large doses of meth and fentanyl?
I can't say that I have. I can say that I have had a few of the pleading (several even crying) types like that and have been able to calm them to some degree with a modicum of effort. There's really not much to lose in trying, particularly not after they are in cuffs. I know what would reflect more favorably on the officer at this point. Juries can arrive at emotional rather than logical conclusions.
