Watching your husband die at the hands of police (Warning: graphic video)

[JJChambers]

70. Nonsense

That's just silly. Obviously cops can, and frequently do, commit heinous abuses of power and use excessive force. I just think it's also silly to argue that any injury or death at the hands of cops is automatically excessive. It is apparent from watching this video and reading the information available that the cops did not use excessive force, that they simply restrained restrained a resisting person after being called to investigate domestic violence, and that the perdon tragically died. What's the alternative here? Simply not let the police make arrests when someone resists?

How many times do you think these same cops, and cops everywhere, have had to use comparable restraint tactics without any injury resulting? I'm sure it happens many times each and every day.

It just seems shady and dishonest to try to paint legitimate police use of force with the same brush we use to paint the cops who brutalize and murder.
