In Europe, cops would be beaten by the crowd for even attempting such shit.Apparently Americans feel too terrorized and can only record stuff with their phones.
I brought up that exact point when this shit happened about the U.K.
No way people would just stand there and watch that.
But yeah, in America would be f***ing suicide to intervene.

Negligence...?
Yeah, the failure to take proper care in doing something.
I don't think they were like alright, let's kill this guy. That's all.
But they did, and there should be jail time. Full stop.
I get how it's sort of semantics but thats just what I thought of the situation. Dont think that i don't want the people involved punished, a guy was killed and there needs to be consequences, thats obvious.

Are you in the uk ?
No. Poland.
Americans make that mistake all the time with me (and other posters, too, not just on KMC, so I'm used to it).

Okay. Then try answering me this, please.
Why apply so much pressure to the neck area for such a long time, when the guy is handcuffed and already being restrained by a few other cops...?
What for? What could be the other reason than trying to kill him?

It's a standard restraining technique, normally far safer for both parties in the event of a drug induced fit.
They're been using the knee on neck thing for decades without anyone being hurt. The entire point it so no one gets hurt.
