Is it considered good policing practice to put people who are already telling you they can't breathe onto the ground and putting them in a chokehold for over 8 minutes past the point when they have appeared to lose consciousness? Is that better, somehow?

It is good policing practice to subdue scumbags who are lying to not get put in the squad car and taken to jail. They gave him every opportunity and he would not stop resisting arrest. I used to blame the cop at first, but now no way. The cop is innocent of all charges.

No. Kneeing somebody in the neck for long is NOT OKAY no matter what. Especially after they stopped struggling. And tell me, there were 4 of them. There was no way to subdue him without killing him? REALLY?

You're assuming they killed him. There's no evidence of that.

Well, yeah, ASSUMING he died. But either way, kneeing somebody in the neck for minutes at a time, is not okay.
