[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5357268, member: 24302"] And could have been suffering from the effect of the fentanyl he ingested. Do you think that police department and others reviewed their policies on restraining suspects after this incident? Seems to me that cop haters want to put everything on the cops and people who let's say "strongly dislike" minority criminals want to put everything on George Floyd. I think suspects who refuse to comply with lawful orders put themselves in harm's way. And I think short of situations where they must use lethal force cops have a responsibility to insure those in their custody are given every consideration in regards to keeping them alive. Doesn't matter what you or I think though. It matters what a jury thinks after both sides present their arguments. And it would not have come to a jury trial if Chauvin hadn't continued to press down on Floyd for so long. If he and the others had stopped and given first aid then it could have been argued that the knee on the back restraint was standard department policy to subdue uncooperative suspects. [/QUOTE]
