(1) per the offending officer's training, he might *not* have been unreasonable in his use of force.
(2) a slight realignment of training procedures for street cops across the world, would allow for the deceased to have stayed alive, to stand up with his back toward the car upon the realization that the now-deceased had personal problems getting into the police car. a police officer can let the person that they want to arrest, stand up, handcuffed, and with instructions not to move or a taser will be used.
this severe restraining of a person on the ground has to be let go of.
it's better than recurring tragedies *and* the follow-on riots.
this whole idea of physically restraining a person, just causes a struggle that is *likely* to result in great bodily harm, to officers or suspects, even to the audience of such events.
by letting a person stand, politely handcuffing them (if possible), and using your taser at a safe distance to keep a person in the same spot,
a chance for dialogue evolves and *can* be brought to fruition (in the Derick Chauvin case : arrival of a police van to transport the suspect.)
police just needs some verbal de-escalation skills worked into their recurring training.
CNN, US Media : use this please, to direct attention from "demonstrations" (riots) to preventing a repeat of such incidents through "police reform", which does not even need to include a "defunding" of the police.
and finally, what fate awaits the defendant in this case, if he has to go to jail for decades?
will it be a normal jail, or one designed to house only ex-police officers.
as we all know from the movies, ordinary jail is no place to house an ex-police officer.
it's simply put exceedingly excessive punishment.
the deceased's suffering was over in about 15 minutes total.
do we put the man who accidentally caused his death in conditions of near torturous punishment for *decades* over this?
the only thing that's left, is to blame this entire event on erroneously designed police training, and for the jury to acquit the defendant.
