I'm assuming you have the policy where both were allowed? Because I'd like to see the portion of the police policy that states this pressure should be applied well beyond the point where the suspect has been subdued and is completely incapacitated.

He put his knee on the neck of a person who was in handcuffs and already restrained for over 8 minutes while the person was complaining he could not breath. Nothing in the manual allows that so he was fired for the use of force and callous disregard for a human being.
You are saying the manual allows chokeholds to restrain a suspect but it does not say you can hold the chokehold indefinitely until the person dies.
You are really digging in deep here for something that is not really an opinion. Nothing in the manual allows this officer to do what he did. He was not following orders because no one was asking him to knee neck the guy for 8 minutes. He was fired for excessive force that led to the death of a person. Plain and simple. No union is going to step in and claim that he was allowed to do that.
Exactly. GWB is trying to play the role of amazingly cute lawyer arguing a word and it is simply incorrect.
A knee to the neck is not warranted in the manual to detain a suspect for 8 minutes after he is already handcuffed and on his stomach unable to move.
It is like saying a choke hold is allowed and I can put you in a choke hold for 10 minutes and then say after you die, well the manual says I can use a choke hold so NOT GUILTY!
Actually this gets into why he was fired. According to an earlier article posted on one of these ET threads it appears Derek Chauvin was fired for failing to summon or provide medical assistance in a timely manner resulting in death of someone under custody. He was not fired for using a department (and city) approved neck restraint.
I am "not trying to play lawyer" here. The article I posted from the other thread outlines much better than I ever could the grounds that Derek Chauvin will use in his defense.
My original comment was that IMO the case in Atlanta is more likely to lead to a conviction of the officer based on what occurred (based on the film from both incidents). The Atlanta case IMO where a suspect was shot twice in the back is much more straight forward than the Minneapolis case.
All of this being said - let me said once again I believe the officers in these two incidents should be held accountable by a jury.
Hateful men like you are more likely to commit a murder or a violent crime then any segment of the population artificially arranged in categories like colour of skin. Some guys like you join the force and needlessly kill black men.
Wrong of course. You are letting your emotions get in the way of the facts...typical libtard move. Maybe you want to burn down a business to vent?
All of the above packed in a one second decision is a super bad combo. I’ve made bad decisions after taking days to think about it imagine a millisecond.
Backwards Hahahaha hahahahaha
And 90% are of their own race. I pulled that out my a** but it’s gotta be close.
