Pennsylvania police are investigating after video emerges showing an officer placing a knee on a man’s neck during an arrest, drawing comparisons to the George Floyd incident.

The video

"The individual appears to vomit multiple times, he is also observed to drop his cell phone and he appears to have trouble walking and standing." "Approximately 23 seconds of the middle portion of the video is reflected in what has been observed on social media," police said in the statement.

Not supposed to be done after have restrained. How come Democrats never blame the people breaking the law If complied would get to that point

How many cops does it take to subdue a black man? ....three to watch and one to choke him

Oh come on that knee is obviously just on his ear not his neck....

If police are as 'elite' & 'well trained' as they & their unions claim, why is it seemingly impossible for them to get the message to stop kneeling on people's necks. I mean, how hard is that to understand? Seems almost like they don't give a shit & enjoy killing people...

No one will care. Its a white guy with that knee on his neck. Non whites will see this and laugh!

It wasn’t an ‘incident’ , it was a murder that was caught on video.

I’m sorry, the George Floyd “incident”? It wasn’t a random occurence, or an accident, it was murder.

We need more fact before we jump to sensationalize story line. We need to see beyond news without any facts. News publicity doesn’t help the news media. STOP IT.

Human42LM You aren't saying that there is another bad apple, right?

murder*

Had three uncles who were corrupt cops. I heard so many stories.

It is also dangerous to not cooperate with the police

I also like how there is Human Trafficking and we are fighting each other. Start knocking those .... to the ground. Stop fighting your neighbor and start fighting the CorruptGovt. To start at least.

I like how there has to be an investigation when there is clear evidence in front their eyes that shows what happened. The Gov't. and any affiliated branch are corrupt through and through. They are forgetting who they work for. They are forgetting WeThePeople are the boss.

Stop the race baiting NPR!

Sometimes there are bad people who resist arrest

On his head

I would have hoped lawenforcement officials would get retrained on tactics and non choke hold or severe aggressive forces...but seems as though that isn't the case.

oh wow the police are investigating the police? wonder how that'll turn out.

You can’t see? Investigate What exactly

George Floyd “incident?” You mean murder. Diction and connotation matter.

If this is the video that’s not his neck.

🙄

The knee is on his head. NPR is making up stuff to start a war

I swear the cops all got together on a Facebook chat and decided to start knee choking black men instead of shooting them. 'If we fire our guns, we're gonna get investigated. Let's just kill people with our body weight and say they had a heart attack while being 'restrained.''

Sickening to learn of another case of police brutality. I hope the victim is OK.

I never had a knee on my neck ,.. BECAUSE I OBEY THE LAW

Either get out there yourselves and do the damn job that is need or shut the hell up. BlueLivesMatter

MyReasons23 Na wa, these officers won’t ever learn

I saw a video of an officer giving the 'ok' sign to white supremacist demonstrators, and the other cops did NOTHING. The problem with cops is that they refuse to call out bad behavior perpetrated by their fellow officers.

Yawn

PoliceBrutalityPandemic ...and who is the nurse in the video who suddenly thought she’d suppress free speech and become a traffic cop by telling the cameraman “move along”

AboveThePolicy PoliciesMade2BBroken PoliceReform

BLM

He's fine. Move on.

🙄

Aren't police technically trained to use this technique? The problem is that they aren't supposed to use full weight or be there for 8 gd minutes.

that looks more like the head/ear. not neck

end qualified immunity

Pennsylvania police investigating after 'disturbing' video shows officer kneeling on man's neck in AllentownVideo of the incident in Pennsylvania shows two officers restraining a man on the ground while a third officer appears to put a knee on his neck. The same rules criminals abide by. 🙄 Who is paying you to spread this propaganda? The USA Today is determined to start another round of riots. Or did they ever end? I sometimes think the USA Today is run by foreigners. Russia? China? Almost everything they post, or print, is anti-American.
