Apparently restraint with knee to neck is effective.

He sure did, under the protection of a corrupt racist police union, but he won't be lonely in his new home, he'll even find himself a new wife.

Another example of what happens when you don't listen to a policeman's lawful commands. Why do they never just listen?

In Dylann Roof’s case, he got two burgers.

Throughout this whole firestorm of looting and arson that came from George Floyd death.
(Rodney king anyone???--->>>1992 L.A riots)
I've had one question that never seems to get answered properly.
What if the situation was reversed?
Ie a black policeman, choking a white unemployed man?
Would we have the same reactions?

English Premier League players take a knee as season resumes
Teams, match officials kneel to pay tribute to George Floyd; coronavirus victims also remembered.
www.aljazeera.com
Players and match officials kneeled in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and victims of the coronavirus were remembered as the English Premier League made a sombre return after a 100-day break due to the pandemic.
"Black Lives Matter" replaced the players' names on shirts during Manchester City's 3-0 victory over Arsenal and Aston Villa's 0-0 draw with Sheffield United on Wednesday.
The symbolic move, which will continue in this weekend's round of games, is being accompanied by demands from players for substantive changes to end discrimination and promote diversity.
The UK is still trying to contain one of the world's worst outbreaks of the coronavirus while also convulsed by a reckoning over racial injustice that roused the campaigning passion and anger of Premier League players following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man.
After the opening whistle in the first game at Villa Park, every player took a knee in a tribute to Floyd, who was killed by a policeman in the US state of Minnesota last month.
In Manchester, the same happened just before kick-off in a near-empty stadium.

But he also killed 9 black people so I guess the police had to reward him for doing their job.

He didn't get 2 knees. The police bought him Burger King when he was arrested.

Two knees and a burger king? Cruel punishment indeed.

^^...oh the irony.....now just imagine, they were all black and it was a BLM gathering ... same emotive pleas, why does theirs resonate and yet African Americans have been pleading it for centuries, and theirs fell/fall on deaf ears.
