Itchy trigger finger there Whiskers?

For my part, I am not gleeful about any of this, notwithstanding your stupid, unsupported and gratuitous remark.

But, I am smart enough to know that Mr. Thug might have earned hisself being pinned down, and that the medical examiner will be checked and re-checked and checked again and when it is determined that Mr. Thug died of something unrelated to his being pinned (he did die hours later, right?) you and a lot of others will look like the idiots you are.

NO.

The paramedics (by their own notes) had been called earlier for a "man with a mouth injury" . That merely suggests one of the officers smacked him in the mouth -- as the oriental ex-cop on the film had a prior excessive force incident, payment of $25k, for kicking a handcuffed teenager in the mouth and knocking out teeth.

The paramedics (no axe to grind in this affair) said they were surprised to find the victim unresponsive (I assume that means no eye reflex) and without a pulse.

The video actually shows Mr. Kneecap maintaining pressure o the guy's neck, for 2 1/2 full minutes after he evacuated his bowels / urinated on himself. Even people unconscious in surgery don't do that, so that's a good guess as to the time of death.

All this, while by standers were begging Mr. Kneecap to get off the guy and take his pulse.

That's not rumor or suggestion or media hysteria. That's from a video taken without tricky camera cuts or editing, in real time, as it happened, from six feet away.

Let me guess, you only read 2nd- or 3-rd hand descriptions, and didn't actually watch the video?

Why should anyone care if the final determination of death was ... say...that he had a heart condition. Calling folks idiots because they are appalled at what we saw, speaks volumes about you, not that you actually pinned the label 'idiot' on anyone.

I have standards. I try to keep them to the one's God gave us. I see nothing but revulsion in watching that cop keep his full weight on a man's neck who was harmless on the ground. There are no values in humanity that justify that. There are no extenuating circumstances or police procedures that pass muster in a civilized society for what that video shows.
