so that makes it ok? are you saying he deserved a death sentence?...i love our police & stand by them, but watching that video shows there's something wrong with the way they perform restraint. and i can't get out of my mind that george was already cuffed & subdued! please tell me why they had to apply force to his throat? was it because he refused to get in the vehicle, and if so, don't you think all these strong cops couldn't lift him up & place him in? i read in a ny publication he was possibly high on fentanyl, which would make it easier to get him in cuz he was 'sedated'. so many missing pieces to this story & we are waiting to learn if the cop with the knee recognized george from a previous job, which was a security detail, which bears the question: with all the past crimes, how did george get a security job?
