Here's what one of the 3 cops should have done when George Floyd was losing his life.

It happened Saturday night in Seattle when a cop put his knee on a protester's neck, eerily similar to the wayended George's life. You see another cop forcibly remove the knee of his colleague ... such a simple act that is also a life-saving act.

This has been a big issue in policing ... when a bad cop crosses the line, can other officers who are present get the rouge cop back in line without suffering consequences back at the station? This is an example of cops checking cops, and it may be one of the most graphic and useful lessons from this whole miserable ordeal ... that police don't have to wait for review boards and prosecutors to tell them how they should have acted ... they can do it before it becomes a tragedy.

Yes! That’s progress ladies & gentlemen. Spread the positive part of this act. While it’s absolutely sickening that officer placed his knee on someone’s neck, I’m so grateful the other officer wouldn’t stand for it.

I seen this video he only stop because a protester told him to stop.

Even on the flag that signifies car race (🚗 🏁) is black and white,it's more beautiful when together.

It's about your humanity not race

He removed his knee cause he was white... are y’all blind? Lol

THIS IS CHANGE. One police officer forcibly moves another officers knee from a protester’s/looters neck. This was not done for GeorgeFloyd if it had, maybe we wouldn’t be at this place in history today.

Omg 😱

Rotimi See if those other RacistCops had the balls to do the 'RIGHT THING' and take that other RacistCops knee off GeorgeFloyd neck we wouldnt be here today! JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

Quick thinking.

Someone call chrissyteigan he might need bail.

I had no idea how well paid TMZ was by Trump until now.

Smart cop!

That MF tried to get into a better position and apply pressure after the guy yelled get your feet off his neck

Looks like some offices are tired of the bull too.

Why it might hurt somebody's f****** feelings?

Only because they saw the cameras. A little progress.

No Applause ?

He’s white

He doesn’t get any points for that it shouldn’t be on his neck in the first place

Amen! Jesus would do that with a gun between his eyes. There were no guns then but there will next time.

God damn

I thought this was a fucking onion article

And he was white. Stop trying to make things worst. That’s what news does.

So what started all this a racist cop kneeling on GeorgeFloyd neck not giving a damn he was saying ICantBreathe this cop does exactly the same. Thank god for the other cop stopping him

They all need retraining!

Cuz he saw the cameras

Thank goodness the one cop was listening & had a conscious cuz the one actually kneeling on his neck wasn't going to move it!

Holy shit do these guys ever learn

Hey Minneapolis Pd how hard was that

Good move. The knee should go on the back if necessary.

'Integrity First'

Damn didn't they learn this is why we're in this situation now All becuz of a damn knee!! he should of known that was NO NO by now. They just don't get it!! Smh think god for that by stander that screamed at him to remove his knee from that guys neck. 👍🏾👍🏾✊🏾✊🏾

So they ARE capable of policing their own and doing the right thing!!?!? 🤯

Thats a habit they have...they are used to doing it all the time...they are just being exposed now through photos, video and social media

These pigs just don’t learn huh🐷

It was a white protester! Where’s the outrage for the white guy. Is that it?

It’s not hard. If only an officer did this when George Floyd was arrested. If you are part of the police and bystand injustice and brutality, you ARE the problem.

Progress?

Don’t resist. It’s that simple.

Scum

Heyheyhey cameras man cameras

The fuck you mean man wouldve been dashed about the gaff by protesters if he didnt listen to them first

Rioter not protester, get it right

They need to change their training to put them in the car as soon as they're cuffed

The guy can clearly breathe.

Bad habits. Yikes.

Fellow Cop: “Too soon”

They need to untrain that

Unfucking Believe what he would do something like that!! That’s the reason that there protesting because of a knee on someone’s neck!

Don’t think this is a coincidence. Cops are obviously trained to do that to detain people. Militaristic training for cops who are supposed to protect and serve should’ve looked at.

They need more training thats for damn sure

As he should this shouldn't be frowned upon from one cop to another if you see some shit that ain't right FIX it!!! before his knee wasn't on this man's back, the officer had it on his neck and was corrected my the detaining officer

Only did it cos people were shouting at them

Well the kid is white so....

Why did the cop 👮‍♀️ put it there knowing that how Chauvin killed George Floyd?

Are the police training experts here the same people that were epidemiologists last week?

The fact that the cops knee was on his neck is why we're here. See it doesn't stop! This is all just for show at this point. I'm not buying it 👀

Some of them just don’t get it...

Only cause someone said something so still... fuck the police.

There is no need for a life threatening manuever like that to subdue a suspect ,the object is to simply get the suspect down and cuffed immediately this is not MMA time

Yikes

These guys are serious and they are not happy.

Absolutely, great job! This obviously is a natiowide police tactic that needs to be changed! I feel for the police trying to deal with this mayhem! Any little thing they do that can be interpreted to be excessive WILL b used to fuel this madness, justified or not!

I like how 'cop encourages colleague to brutalize protesters instead of killing them' is newsworthy.

Law enforcement claim they don't teach this move, then why is this happening?

That was very thoughtfull of him.

Oh come on... It's on his back, fake news...

Knee on neck for 10 seconds, then to back and then up. Clean arrest. Shut up people.

Thank you police officers for doing your job! 👍👌

See how easy it was to move the knee from neck. This all could of been prevented

This “knee on the neck” tactic is obviously something that is taught through law enforcement.

“Cop removes knee from white protestors neck” it’s almost like because he’s whites it was an easy call funny how that works...

I mean this is completely wrong but at least he stopped, but people like this shouldn’t have the right to be called police officers
