(14,779 posts)That training included making sure the person I was retaining was not harmed. Now, my training was with the National Guard and riot control and one aspect of that training is we were told NOT to do it unless direcret by a Police Officier, who hopefully had more training then we did.
The training I undertook AND a review of most police training emphasis how to aviod harm to the person we were arresting. People do die when they are arrested of things not related to being arrested. Heart Attacks are known, so are strokes. Thus just because it took six or more officers to detain someone, does not mean they killed him. The video does not show anything that could have killed the victim by that action. The holding someone down, putting your knees on him till you hand cuff him, is not enough to kill someone. Something NOT on that video is the cause of the death. The police may have done it, and may NOT have done it. Nothing on that video shows either case, thus the video shows nothing as to the cause of the death of this victim.
