Another Police Officer ..

But like I said maybe the aggressive restraint was necessary.

We don’t know. That’s the point.

The officers concerned here would have had what happened to Floyd at the forefront of their minds, yet they still chose that system of restraint.

To me that indicates they were dealing with a violent aggressive individual.

Without knowing what happened in the lead up to the restraint it’s impossible to form an opinion on whether it was appropriate in this case or not.

While some people refuse to see what is in front of their noses there is no hope.

All Lives Matter is the catch phrase of a far right organisation.

Given that MOST of the people this happens to are people of colour, BLACK Lives Matter Happygirl79. Stop trying to shift the narrative to the right.

Police brutality.

Must be totally ignorant people with no education to do this to another person
No excuses
This must cease
All lives matter

I’m not even shocked to see someone defending this

I expect to see many many more defend it as well

Makes me so sad for the future

Restraint methods for violent people does NOT include kneeling on the neck. Restraint guidance as standard, is DO NOT PUT PRESSURE ON THE NECK! Doesnt matter what the bloke did, how violent he was, other recognised methods will work, necks are out!

It’s not hard though to me.
Force? Sure

Excessive force? No!

If these officers had had what happened to George Floyd in mind and still went ahead with this use of restraint, that’s all the worse to me.

Policing in America needs absolute reform.

It wasn't appropriate because it is banned.

Of course, there will be more protests now..

What is the point of getting outraged about this from just seeing a very brief video?

We have no idea why the man was being restrained.
He could have been violent and threatening to people in the hospital, endangering lives.

We would need to see what happened in or outside the hospital before passing any comment.

Why be out raged? Because of the use of excessive force to restrain him.

Police policy from the force where this happened, banned the use of any neck restraint earlier this month, I think.

So, pretty damning, I would say, whatever the circumstances.

Presumably there was trouble in the hospital and the person had to be r3moved, though that should never be an excuse to use excessive force.
I understand American police to be a scary lot, more force than service. No laughing and joking around with them. Ours have their faults, but i know which I prefer.

Unbelievable. There was absolutely no need as the man was already restrained. And almost as bad, a white nurse ordering a black woman to stop filming,

Animals.
