again, based on the prosecution's *and* the defense's closing arguments, Floyd was not resisting arrest nor handcuffing, and was sitting on the sidewalk, talking with the arresting officers,Clearly you know nothing about law-enforcement dealing with violent criminals.no, you can just let them stand at ease, and threaten to use your taser in case they run.You have to restrain a suspect to prevent them from running or resisting or posing a threat to the officers and the public.
You do understand this principle, right?
until they tried to put him, an extra large man, in a tight police car's back seat. Floyd then claimed, realisticly, that he was claustrophobic. And started to resist attempts to place him in the back of the police car.
at which point Chauvin arrives, and concludes *by his training*, that it's best to put his knee on a ground-restrained Floyd.
the rest, we all know.
what i'm advocating for, is a *change* in police training, to favor tasers and upright holding positions, until a police van can arrive to bring a person with Floyd's "symptoms" to the police station.
