That was the Tao guy, who turned to watch the other three doing it, and made sure to prevent the people on the sidewalk from getting around the side to get a better video of what was going on.

Having dealt with individuals that were under the influence of strong drugs such as PCP, I know that it takes more than one to subdue the person being arrested. They are dangerous and those emergency responders are taught to put him on the ground first in order to get control of him. I am not excusing improper handling of the suspect, but I can see how on rare occasions someone can be injured or even killed. Improper handling is NOT murder unless done purposely. I believe that a court of law is the one to judge those men, not the media and definitely not us, based on limited information. Everyone says that Floyd deserved to have yet another trial before judged and I agree. I also feel that we should wait for a court judgement before we armchair convict four police officers. I would definitely like to see the perp that shot and killed Capt Dorn, arrested and court judges. Society will miss Capt Dorn, I am sure. Not so much, Floyd.
