what if i told u that thats the way to aprehend an officer. it is part of their takedown training to handcuff a suspect.
dont know about america. but i can tell you that in Israel, Germany and Netherlands that's the training to apprehend when cuffing. seeing as i have no experience with law enforcement training from the us. but there are also standing arm locks etc etc.
so if the kneeing part is the problem than i don't think the cop should be penalized for that. because it is in his training. if you don't agree with that part their needs to be a reform in training methods. he should not be punished for that.
he should be punished for pulling his gun. but he might have feared for his safety as people swarmed him which might have activated his instinct to protect his safety and live. which is wrong as these kids where unarmed. but taking his badge and gun and his job his harsh for a temoporary lapse in judgement/ acting on instinct.
i know law enforcement training so i do know that is a standard technique amongst others. how can you punish him for preforming the technique(albeit a bit sloppy and not 100% perfect)
again thats the problem witht his world everybody has an opinion even when they are not well versed on the subject. and i might be considered a troll, an instigate or someone who sometimes just says **** just to offend the pc crowd. but in this case i am serious and do have the know how and experience about this part of law enforcement training.
during training i have been on both sides of that position and i am stil healthy. but maybe i am just fit and in better condition. all kind of people put me in that position. with all kind of intensity.
i do know it is unpleasant. but it is a way of controlling suspects.
you dont know wtf you are talking about when it comes to this.
edit ofcourse if this technique isnt trained in us law enforcement which i doubt. then my argument falls apart
