FBI, Minnesota Authorities Probe Death of Black Man in Minneapolis Police Custody

Federal and state authorities launched an investigation Tuesday into the death of a black man who appeared to suffocate while in police custody in Minneapolis after a Facebook video surfaced of the encounter.

The Facebook video of the encounter, which took place Monday evening, shows the man telling officers that he can’t breathe. More than 10,000 people had shared the video as of Tuesday.

Is this knee-to-neck maneuver taught at the academy? I've seen police use this when trying to restrain an individual. Also, why would the officer remain on the man's neck even after he had already been handcuffed? Just wondering if this is something that's taught at the academy.

He was murdered by a thug! That animal needs to get the death penalty!

💔

There is more to a ship then the bow and the stern.

Yeah they should because that is next level fucked up. This is sickening what has happened and what happens that doesn’t make headline news. Change is needed. Too many people are not being prosecuted by the law but instead by enforcers of said law. Police need better training.

Paid leave

100's of black men have died with no video to ever catch the police brutality. This is why the Karen's of the world should be charged with attempted Murder. Attempting to have police kill black men for them should be seen as a significant threat.

Trump Tha Racist LOVES it when cops use excessive force..... TrumpIsAnIdiot

Appeared? No he did suffocate. It takes 4 minutes to kill someone by strangulation. He had his knee on his neck for 9 minutes more than double that time.

Hope that victim went to Harvard, didn’t have a speeding ticket and helped old ladies cross the street. Otherwise, FOXNews and other conservative outlets are about to demonize him, bigly.

It much to investigate lock em up and lose the key

RAcism is on the rise... only you can stop it by being kind to one another and showing kindness and not hate...

if you're talking, you're breathing....it science

If you are calm you won't problems. Easy-peasy.

Expect another token 'investigaton'
