Do you also think that George Floyd was resisting arrest and should have complied with Derek Chauvin who was kneeling on his neck so he couldn't breathe!? Was that also a justified use of force!?

No. Chauvin committed murder. I watched the trial and the jury found the truth. That was a classic case of poor procedure. They should have left Floyd in the car and just transported him. If they had, no contact with Chauvin.

The officer should use the appropriate amount of force to detain him and place him in custody.

What is appropriate when someone refuses to comply? Officer can't just walk away. It's called Law En-FORCE-ment for a reason. When people break the law, and refuse to comply, then force is required.

Two equally scary facts that need to be kept up front: 1. People in cuffs can and are just disappearing now. 2. We don't know whether what the officer was attempting to enforce was even lawful.

Call for backup, and then grab him, punching is never required. But we don’t even know if it was a justified detainment. What we witnessed was not protection of the peace improvingpolice.blog/wp-content/u...

“Punching is never required.” You haven’t been in many street fights have you?

It didn’t have to be a fight. The other guy wasn’t fighting.

This is also poor procedure, this man is not attempting to flee, he is simply protecting himself from an egotistical police officer who is using excessive force given the situation. This man is waiting for the officers supervisor to show up and for good reason! If he attempts to flee then
