Who said on this thread, "Chauvin killed him, but he had it coming".

Who even defended Derek Chauvin on this thread?

Many times on the way to a police call, if the person who is the subject of the arrest is known by name, they will run the name if they have time to see if he/she has a record. I would guess so that they know just what they might expect to deal with in the way of behavior. Many domestic calls for example are repeat calls and they may know what they might expect and know the danger level to the people involved and to law enforcement.

I would think that they do make summary judgements on the way as to where they are going is a high crime area or a low crime area. I think I would if I were a police officer.

But perhaps, just perhaps that isn't essentially racist? More just general knowledge??

And, I say again, if the procedure is allowed when a person is violently resisting arrest, than it is not a personal attempt to kill someone. He should have known. OH YES. He was a jerk. OH Yes. But did he sit there with thoughts of killing him????

I believe that it was previously stated that the procedure could only be used for a few seconds.
