So it turns out the nypd RPD held down and strangled a man in distress untill he died. This happened MONTHS before George Floyd, but it was apparently buried. Recently they released the bodycam footage, showing he pleaded for the police not to shoot as he was disabled, which prompted them to cover his head with an "anti spittle/bite" hood and knelt on him until he died.
From what i've read, no cops have been fired, let alone charged with anything.
No jokes this time.. i'm sad and knackered and i don't know if i have anything insightful to say about this.. but couldn't find this on the chat, i felt like we should know and not let the murder go unknown.

It's a common tactic used by cops for torture. It's extremely uncomfortable, makes it difficult to breathe, basically guaranteed to make you panic. So obviously you'll struggle a bit so they're 100% justified beating you to death or whatever they feel like.

Resisting arrest is the dumbest thing ever. They yank your arm so hard it basically dislocates something, and the fact that you involuntarily resist awful pain makes them justified in beating you and charging you.
