    Guy is distressed but he is not resisting arrest here. What reason is there to put him face down in the gutter with a knee pressed to his neck?

    How does it go from that to on the ground with him kneeling on his neck? is there another video or do we pick it up with the parts int he other videos filmed by the people on the path?

    Resisting or not, doesnt justify kneeling on his neck for 10 minutes. It doesnt explain what they were waiting for the whole time, why not put him in the car straight away? Even if hed resisted and they ended up on the ground, at that stage he is subdued again, why not pick him up and put him in the car.

    Yeah just came here to post that video... makes it worse he was in handcuffs a Few minutes before they took him to the ground , hardly a major threat at that stage.

    There was another one a few years ago in similar circumstances where cops took a young lad down to the ground who suffered from schizophrenia for next to nothing ,the poor lad could be heard begging for help and even cried out for his dad before passing away with the cops on top of him ,
    Single most hardest video I've ever watched it's not as visible as this as it was mostly out of view but the audio is Harrowing

    Saw another case of a black chap acting completely peacefully getting jumped by cops, he was belly down struggling to breathe, an arm on his neck, two other cops pinning his arms and legs down, and guess what one of them was roaring at him over and over?

    'Get on the floor!!, Get on the floor!!'

    .......?????

    I don't think so. Trump seems to be more concerned about the elections and social media at the minute!

    The looting and burning of local businesses puts the cause of BLM back 20 years or so.

    Yes, he said he got the FBI to look into this asap, when in fact they were already looking into it. Think he tweeted like near midnight last night (GMT). Which I found strange, this is massive news in the US.

    How do you know when he gave the order?

    I think in a crowd of protestors there will always be a few who attach themselves to a cause to give themselves an excuse to commit crimes. It doesn't mean that the cause the protestors are fighting for is not a valid one and a few random idiots doesn't equate to institutionalized police brutality and violence.

    I have a friend who lives in Minneapolis a FB friend of hers is posting info allegedly gleaned from a police scanner. There are hundreds of cops surrounding the house of one of those fired as a large crowd has gathered. Apparently the 3rd Precinct's power is out and the power lines are on fire. The national Guard is on site. Blast balls have been authorised at Calhoun Square and there has been an explosion east of 25 and Lake.

    How quickly do you think Donnie found out about this?

    I'm near sure rules/regulations happen a lot quicker then what passes the attention of Donnie. Like I said, he passed comment on this massive event near midnight last night GMT time.

    It distracts from a real cause (the murder of an innocent man) and colors (pardon the pun) the minority involved, from innocent victims to thugs and scumbags

    there no intent to kill the man. in fairness. its accidental..they are trying to restrain the man,heavy handed..but murderous intent? no..

    They knelt on his windpipe for five minutes. Manslaughter is the most generous interpretation I could give.

    A black man just got murdered while being arrested, and armed forces have been violently suppressing unarmed black protestors. Even though a couple of weeks ago, armed white terrorists stormed government buildings and the armed forces did absolutely nothing about it.

    The cause of BLM is already back in the 1960s and not through their own doing.

    He has to go to prison for what he did.

    It appears to me America isn't anywhere near as civilised as Europe.

    While making videos of this kind are powerful for inciting change, there is something awful about the indignity of having the world see you slowing lose control of your bladder, utter your last pleading words, sob and intimately lose consciousness for the last time.

    Why he was getting arrested? How many Koreans are in Minneapolis?

    At least this way he might get justice.

    Might.

    Would it matter a lot and he deserved to die if it was his 1000th time doing it?
