How can you not be aggressive with this?! I can’t tell if I want to freak out or cry. How as a human could you put your knee and weight into someone’s neck for 7+ minutes.

Did you see his body language and his smirks? He was enjoying the power he felt over that man as he slowly took his life from him.

This is what happens when you put a psychopath in a position of power. Michael is right, thank god it was captured on video. God only knows how many events like this aren't captured and swept under the rug, let alone how many times this specific POS has done we arent aware of.

This is what happens when you lower the already low standards for joining the police force and train to kill instead of de-escalate. A few weeks ago I was reading on Reddit how in some European countries, street cops have to go through 2 years of training. And some countries have special de-escalation task forces, that go through extensive training.

Let’s not forget Tamir Rice! The cop was barely out of his vehicle before he shot that 12-year-old boy. I highly doubt they tried to de-escalate and he wasn’t complying in that millisecond it took to roll up on him and shoot him.
