It is a bit simpler... When did the officers feel there lives were in danger?
He said he was claustrophobic while been handcuffed while they were trying to put him in the car... He was pleading with them... He even told them he had COVID which he had ...
There was no need to to even lie him on the ground... The guy was generally co-operating up till the point... They could have just let him sit and ordered a wagon..
There actions were way over the top... What they were doing was just cruelty, sorry... He pleaded with them and seem actually polite....
Police were in control and were under no danger...
Where in the trial transcript is COVID-19 mentioned so that the people can read it?
