C'on Keesha ..... the pages from the training manual have been posted here .... and it is clearly in there.
In the manual it states that IF the suspect is resisting arrest then any of these holds can be applied. The choke hold and neck restraints are saved as deadly restraints meant only for passive aggressive to the most aggressive.
Choke hold is for the most aggressive suspects who are violently resisting arrest.
Neck Restraint is for the passive aggressive and is done by compressing both sides of the neck WITHOUT APPLYING DIRECT PRESSURE to the TRACHEA!
This restraint is used to control a conscious subject but NOT RENDER THEM UNCONSCIOUS by applying light to moderate pressure.
It gives clear instructions on when to use them and how to use them which was completely ignored.
The subject didn’t resist arrest in the least and consistently showed compliance and respect right to his very last dying breathe while he said for the 15th time, “I can’t breathe officer.”
After any of these neck holds are used the officer using such force needs to carefully monitor the subject.
Light to moderate pressure at the sides of his neck NOT KNEELING on his neck! If the subject keeps repeating that they can’t breathe, then it’s REALLY CLEAR that it wasn’t ‘light to moderate’ pressure.
If this technique must be used then the subject needs to be monitored.
Did anyone see or hear any monitoring of the police officer?
Did anyone witness any human concern whatsoever about this black man’s very life?
NO!!! There was ZERO concern.
This man was NOT following procedure. OVER EIGHT MINUTES passed by and the ONLY look on this police officers face was one of sheer arrogant pride like one of this trophy hunters who just killed their prey.
Like I mentioned in another post, if anyone sees justifiable reason why this man was murdered in cold blood by those who serve and protect, then they have their own personal AXE to GRIND.
