Is the arrested officer justified in any way? I can't say yes and I'm not sure anyone can without overlooking direct police department policy violations. As it turns out his department is not allowed to place a knee in a perps neck.
Now, the deceased is an accused criminal breaking at the very least 2 federal laws. Each law brings 15 year sentences at a minimum.
All I want to know is why does media and activist groups like the ones that are supporting criminals that place themselves in bad positions ignore situations like this? This happens just as much as the George Floyd situation does, and there are stats that prove it.
