Wasn’t he unresponsive for the last couple minutes after telling them he couldn’t breathe and he thought he was gonna die? I’m one of the most pro cop guys you’ll find (my brother is a cop and I’m ex military) but this douchebag is indefensible. Talked to my brother a couple nights ago and he thinks all the cops need to go to prison, his co- workers have the same opinion. He seemed just as pissed off at the other officers that stood around and let it happen. This kind of shit puts good cops like my brother in further danger.
Your brother is dead on and his anger at the other guys makes sense to me

It’s like a nutjob lone gunman.

That doesn’t really mean anything other than a guy was mentally ill, but when a bunch of dudes stand around in broad daylight while people film them like it’s a normal day, it obviously begs the question what do these motherfuckers do at 3am with a guy talking back and resisting a bit and no crowd?

A lone psychopath might have found out his wife was divorcing him that morning or something and went off, but all those dudes just chilling...
