Gosh were any people killed or buildings set on fire during those protests? I'm sure my teevee would have shown it.

He probably performed the same tactic on many other suspects (black, white, red, yellow and even a green ET), only none died. The only point I was making is that contrary to some opinions once a suspect has his hands handcuffed behind him and he's faced down on the ground does not equate to a completely restrained suspect and one that poses no harm.

There were three on him. So yes, you definitely missed the video. There were more than one video. I don't know how many more but I saw two of them. One was taken from someone who was crossing the street and saw the OTHER Side of the police car where George Floyd was being pinned down by THREE police officers. He was flat on his stomach, handcuffed, unable to get up on his own even if he hadn't been pinned down. One cop was kneeling on the back of Floyd's legs. Another was kneeling on his spine. And Chauvin was kneeling on his neck.

This was AFTER he was already IN the back of the police car, he had ALREADY been handcuffed. They pulled him out and moved him to the curb, where he fell over.
