A Seattle police bicycle officer put his knee on a man's neck during an arrest outside a looted T-Mobile store in downtown Seattle about 11:30 p.m. on May 30, 2020. A second officer told him to remove it and physically moved his knee down to the man's shoulder-blade area.

Officers had responded to a reported break-in and theft during the George Floyd protests. Video captured the man face-down on the pavement as bystanders objected to the officer's knee placement. The detained man later told investigators he had not been involved in the looting and had not resisted arrest. He provided photographs of his injuries.

The Office of Police Accountability found that the knee placement was neither necessary nor proportional and sustained an unnecessary-force allegation. It also sustained a professionalism allegation over the officer's recorded remarks. The office found no intent to restrict the man's breathing and did not sustain a separate neck-restraint allegation. The officer received a written reprimand.

Looked like he has it on the side of his head, not his neck.
Wow.. how things get blown out of proportion.

That other police officer said I aint going to jail for not doing anything about it and took his fellow officer knee off the guy's neck. lol

After seeing all the attention and support he was getting, the guy was like, "Help"

Cops have been using their knees like that since forever usually it doesn't result in serious injury on a reasonably capable person only difference now is some fool cooked his heart with methamphetamine and his death was filmed.

I can't stand the idea of cops putting their knees on my neck or anywhere else so far I have been trying a special strategy called don't do stupid shit and get arrested with a backup plan called go get booked and post bail without pissing off the arresting officer, getting roughed up or racking up 15 additional charges.

I don't want to live in a country where I can't loot and riot without getting an asshole pig sit on my head!

Perfect example of why a knee to the neck is a racist tactic, it only kills blacks!

knee to neck only kills if you are under the influence of meth and fentanyl
