[QUOTE="cidsamuth, post: 16426439, member: 110091"] Comparing the actions of the officers in this Karen video with the (apparent) action of the officers in Minneapolis has to be the dumbest thing I have ever read. I'll hold your hand a minute and point out just one of the million important distinctions. [indent]1) The officer in the Karen video escalated force at each step appropriate to the actions of the subject. Then, he deescalated when appropriate. For example, when she ran in her vehicle, he had to assume something else might be going on, so he drew his gun when he caught her. . . a very appropriate response (officer safety 101). But, he then deescalated back to his intermediate weapon (taser) when it was clear deadly force would not be needed. Then, he quit tazing her when she quit ACTIVELY resisting, and he used an appropriate amount of hands-on force to put her in cuffs because she was still PASSIVELY resisting (i.e. not complying to commands) at that point. Situation resolved with no long term physical harm to the subject. The officer did everything right. 2) As MhOh3 points out above, the Minneapolis officers should have deescalated their force once the subject was subdued, i.e. relieved the pressure on his back, which is a common technique used for actively resisting subjects. Further, they made a second and crucial mistake by applying deadly force (knee to the neck area) when lethal force was by no means required. I doubt the officer was trying to kill him, but he is responsible for the mistake. And, the manner in which this mistake was made was particularly shocking and likely won't be forgiven by law or society. Depending on how the laws are written in Minnesota, he will likely be charged with murder and plea to manslaughter - and see significant prison time.[/indent] Class dismissed. Dumbass. [/QUOTE]
