from a bystander showed a white officer kneeling on his neck during his arrest as he pleaded that he couldn't breathe.
“Being Black in America should not be a death sentence. For five minutes, we watched a white officer press his knee into a Black man’s neck. Five minutes. When you hear someone calling for help, you’re supposed to help. This officer failed in the most basic, human sense,” Frey posted.Minneapolis police said the man matched the description of a suspect in a forgery case and resisted arrest. The video shows an unidentified officer kneeling on his neck and ignoring his pleas.
Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo, speaking to reporters Tuesday, was asked about the use of the knee on the man's neck during the arrest. In Minneapolis, kneeling on a suspect's neck is allowed under the department’s use-of-force policy for officers who have received training in how to compress a neck without applying direct pressure to the airway. It is considered a “non-deadly force option,” according to the department’s policy handbook.
A grand jury later decided against indicting the officers involved in Garner's death, sparking protests around the country.who was fatally shot Feb. 23 when a white father and son pursued the 25-year-old black man after spotting him running in their subdivision. More than two months passed before charges were brought.
Is it relevant that the victim is black? Police brutality should stop regardless of race
Where’s the whole video?
Excessive force no doubt so if you don’t want this to happen to you then don’t get in trouble with the law cause if you do the crime. Then they are in charge again it’s about decisions on both sides guessthey both made bad ones again that’s life
The officer should be arrested and thrown in jail with No Bail.
murder, calous murder
These police are suppose to be TRAINED how to properly restrain an accused person!! cutting air supply IS NOT proper training!!!!!!
The office is a murderer with a badge. He killed him on purpose. The FOP should stay out of this. Look into his background he is a killer.
Murder by thug cops caught on video. These assholes best be charged!
The officer willfully committed murder. That arresting tactic is dangerous and seems to normally used with the blackness of skin to break the neck. The officers with hands in pockets tells that this is willful ignorance arrogance. This tactic It is a blackness when arresting.
I wonder if as a white female RN in scrubs with a badge...if I said I'm a nurse, he's dying please let me get to him and tried to walk over there what they would've done.
This was flat out murder for an alleged forgery. The man was secured already. The knee on the neck according to their police spokesperson is not an acceptable procedure. Both officers have been relieved of duty status. I hope this is thoroughly investigated and justice is served.
All cops are bastards
The officer in the picture is Derek Chauvin, an Oakdale resident who apparently enjoys coming to work in the big city every day to terrorize people of color.
Another case of the dreaded Paid Administrative Leave!
There may be some good cops out there but its known they protect each other on this kind of abuse. Every cop that doesnt turn in a dirty cop is responsible. Thses cops should be held for murder and sent to jail.
Intentional murder.
MinneapolisPD murderers MinneapolisPolice
You would think cops would be more careful after seeing so many officers heading to prison on the news.
Over a bad check being written at a grocery store! Disgusting!

Someday we will figure out a way to get the Klan out of the cops in America. But when?
here we go again
The assumption that race was a factor is a reach. Let's find out before trying to divide people.
This is why people hate fucking cops!
What a complete joke our country is becoming. If radical hate wasn't promoted by our president and his minions maybe this crap wouldn't happen so often.
A AWESOME BRAVE POLICE OFFICER NEEDS TO DO WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO!! THAT'S HIS JOB!! THAT'S HIS DUTY!!!!!
This is why Amy Cooper should be charged with attempted murder. They know exactly what they are doing.
Someday we will figure out a way to get the Klan out of the cops in America.
We literally pay the Police salaries so they can Terrorize us
