Bad **** tends to happen when you try to be all gangsta and resist arrest.
That said, I'd be okay if the guy with the knee on his neck is charged. That seems utterly pointless to restrain a guy.

He continued to resist arrest with the cops knee on his neck for 10 minutes. Would like to see how it got to this situation, but the firing of the cops is a good hint that it wasn't good.

He's handcuffed and laying on his stomach. No need for the cop to keep his knee on the guys neck. He isn't going anywhere.

He's fighting for his life.
Throw a resisting arrest charge at the guy. Don't fucking kill him unless your life is legitimately in danger.

He's not fighting anything, this is abusive force and a homicide in progress.
I got to the point where he made his first moan/begging and then had to turn it off. Couldn't get any further.

The guy’s cuffed, fight’s over.
If he’s too much to contain for one officer then call some backup so the partner can help instead of having to watch the crowd.
They could also have shackled his feet if he was that much of a flight risk.

WTF you gotta kneel on a guys neck when he's already cuffed? The one just pacing is just as guilty.

It is just SOP for the Minneapolis PD. Unless people have forgotten Justine Damond already.

Yup, charge the 4 officers with murder and it should be an easy conviction. The suspect wasn't going anywhere, already had him cuffed and on the ground. Heck, a taser could've been used too. No reason to slowly asphyxiate the guy with a crushing knee to the neck.
While all police departments can be better in this regard, why is this the Minneapolis PD again? Their track record is such that they should be especially attuned to not letting crap like this keep happening.

It boils down to the Twin City politics and the policies that the mayoral office pushes. Think of the place as a watered down Chicago/Detroit, crossed with a good dump truck full of identity/SJW policies and it is not much of a surprise then.

The cops that didn't arrest the cop with his knee in the neck are more guilty than the guy that killed him

How do you say easy murder conviction for the 2 officers the video doesn't show? Even a manslaughter charge wouldn't be easy to convict on anyone other than Officer Knee in Neck. My guess is Officer Knee In Neck will be the only one who might be charged with murder, but more likely convicted of manslaughter. Maybe the other cop the video shows will be charged with manslaughter. The other 2 who knows, but their careers are probably over.

The cops had about 10 minutes of holding this guy on the ground, gasping for air, to think about what they were doing. This was a slow motion tragedy that should've been avoided. This wasn't a bad decision made in an instant, this was lack of concern for another human being. That's murder to me.
