I think I remember the statistics on death by drug overdose in 2019, as around 70,000 deaths. Sometimes drugs give people resisting arrest superhuman strength. Here it took three officers to get this man to allow them to put handcuffs on. And there was Cocaine.
I guess no matter which side you choose, you can always bring up that those weren't really HIS pants and the cops put the drugs on him.
I admit to being prejudiced toward law enforcement.
Watch this video.
Live PD - Resisting Arrest “I was eating a fu***** Apple fritter” - YouTube |
This video shows how police are supposed to do their job - use whatever force is required to get the subject under control and cuffed. This is exactly the opposite of how the Minneapolis police dealt with it. They had the person cuffed and well under control yet continued to exert deadly force. They should all spend time in prison. If I were a cop on the jury I would be the first to cast a guilty verdict since these bad cops have put my life in jeopardy.
As to his character or previous record, I don't care if he just committed armed robbery. Once the police did their job of apprehending and subduing him, they have no right to continue on to be judge, jury and executioner.
