Well said Cherie....the bloke had a knife and was resisting arrest...he was a danger to life....but lets all focus on how the police treated him. Lets all focus on the police officer kneeling on his head trying to restrain a man intent on some sort of violence and risking his life and others...but please dont hurt me when you arrest me..
I cant believe the police officer knelt on his head in light of what has recently happened...but you can see restraining his head does stop any resistance. However its obviously not the way they are taught. The officers look very young and the one kneeling on his head looked very uncomfortable after the incident and realised what he had done. I felt for him.
