Is that part of their training or something? Jesus Christ.

No, and that's part of the problem. They obviously need to be told how not to handle situations as much as they need to be told how to

Just goes to show that they feel like they can do whatever they want with no consequences.

holy shit

The cop actually looked at the people screaming "Get your knee off his neck" and ignored them.

Thank God his partner intervened

But here's the thing, if this wasn't being recorded would the partner have intervened? Is the partner going to tell their superiors that the bad cop is dangerous?

This is why "A few bad apples spoils the barrell" not "A few bad apples and everything is alright"

i even have my doubts about the cop who intervened. he also only did so after turning and looking at the cameras. not when he saw what his partner was doing. Like it took that for even him to say "Oh yea....that's the whole reason i'm here right now"

Regardless if you feel like he did it for on camera or not he still did the right thing in deescalating the situation. Coulda, shoulda, woulda doesn't matter. One less person dead because one cop that was aware of the situation and quickly fixed it.

It's a step in the right direction and the protests are having an impact.

It does matter. These protests are happening so things like that don't happen in private once its all said and done. The training needs to be better. The people need to be better. We need to be pointing out those things NOW in the grand scheme, not look at these as individual cases of "he didn't die so its all good"...Otherwise this bull shit will be all for nothing. Would he have the same thought process if the cameras weren't there and a mob of people weren't shouting what they SHOULD be doing?

Is there any particular reason to be outraged about that? The issue with the murder was not inherently the knee on the neck, though most seem to agree that's improper form for an arrest, but the length of time it happened. It was either a deliberate murder of someone he hated or an accidental murder through abuse of power. Doing that for ten seconds while getting someone cuffed isn't going to cause any lasting harm, but it was good form for the other dude to correct his posture.

You're just proving my point. You're giving the police shit for what could have happened instead of what actually happened. I'm not saying that their training is right. I'm saying you're focused on the wrong thing. You're trying to stay angry just to stay angry instead of giving credit to where credit is due.

It's a step in the right direction for making police more aware and hold each other accountable.

Of course Im giving them shit for what could have happened, because I dont believe what should have happened would have happened had there not been a camera on them. Im not giving them shit. Im pointing out one of the reasons why this entire thing is Happening. Yes. Im happy they eventually did what was right, but whats right should always be there first instinct. Not something they only do because theyre on camera and being told what to do.
