32. I blame the training.

Police are taught how to manhandle troublesome people they want to arrest with 'certain' restraining techniques.

Trouble is, they practice on each other in training, and being young and fit, nobody gets seriously hurt.

Do it to a person with underlying medical problems, like high blood pressure, for instance, and things can go horribly wrong.

Knee on the neck though, is a new one on me. A new training technique? A new session called 'how to kill a person of color and make it look like an accident?'

Just fired? Hell no, the cop with the knee needs to go to jail, and the other three charged with accessory to murder. They did nothing to stop the death.

The maximum violence technique used by cops these days need some revision in training. Most police forces around the world work on the principle on minimum physical contact to effect an arrest.

Got to wonder, if they were trying to subdue a white person, would it have resulted in such a violent death?

Can you trust police when they act like that? Violent thugs in police uniforms are still violent thugs.
