I am in Law Enforcement and I have yet to meet an officer that didn't cringe and wonder what the actual fuck was happening. Everyone I know in the law enforcement community not only feels terrible for this man and his family, but also feels discouraged and disheartened by how much fuel this adds to an already difficult to control fire of distrust in the community. There are officers that work day in and day out to try and fix the image and perception of policing because they care. These heinous abuses of power make their jobs harder. It's impossible to heal a wound that keeps getting ripped open. It doesn't take Law Enforcement training to know and understand that when you apply pressure to someone's neck, you're blocking off blood to their brain and air to their lungs. This wasn't just a case of bad training. This was a case of lack of basic humanity.

Horrified. When you have someone in custody you are responsible for their safety and well being.

Retired after 28 years. Nothing less than murder. All the guys I worked with would never have considered doing something like that. You treat combative in-custodies once they're secured as human beings. Nothing should be personal. Once they've been subdued and you are safe as an officer, you stand him up, pat him down and understand that your arrestee is at a low point in his life. Give him some dignity and you'll generally get his respect. It works 90+% of the time. That man was subdued and nobody should have been on him at that point.

I'm a police officer in California. I am absolutely disgusted by the officers' actions. When someone is in our custody you must treat them properly. I don't care if they are arrested for murder or forgery. They are a human with a story and they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. I had tears streaming down my face watching the video of George Floyd. We swore to protect our communities and that's what we set out to do everyday. Putting a knee into the neck of a handcuffed man for an extended period of time isn't protecting. A man has lost his life due to the gross negligence of an evil person. May he Rest In Peace.

Cop Here. Disgusted. There are a 1000 reasons why this shouldn't have happened. Simple, easy, steps that should have been taken. Lessons that policing has learned over the past 200 years and basic things taught in every academy. Make no mistake, this was murder. Maybe not premeditated murder, but nonetheless murder. I will be ANGRY if those officers do not get indicted.

I'm a former police officer, and so have had plenty of training in physical restraint of individuals being arrested. There is no police academy training officers to kneel on someone's neck to subdue them, That's how you kill a person. There is extensive training on how to avoid seriously injuring a person while restraining them, and I guarantee you every one of these officers was trained to never strike a person in the neck or choke them. The officer who killed him is very clearly liable for manslaughter at the very least, and I think the other officers who stood by have some accountability as well because they knew damn well that was not how you handle a person, and should have stepped up.

My uncle is a retired police officer, and I called him about this: He said that it's horrible that people like this exist. It's has a negative impact on both the police community and the black community. It stirs up animosity between the two, and they end up not trusting. What if a person in the african american community needs to call the police, but don't trust them/fear them? Not all police officers are like this, many are great people, but the growing number of cases is alarming. Another problem is that because of police unions, officer who should face serious reprecussions, aren't.

Those cops should be buried under the jail. I condemn all 4 of those officers actions and hope they get what they deserve.
