Nigga, it was very clearly the back of his neck and he was pushing it into hard concrete. You can restrain a person in a million different ways without putting force on such a sensitive area. I don't even disagree with most of what you're saying, my contention is that you don't restrain someone in a way that can cause serious injury or death, I thought everyone knew how dangerous fucking with someone's neck is. It could be found out that he died of a crack overdose and I'd still be saying the same thing.In the video it appears he had his knee on his back and his shin on the back of his head, that's a fair move. This is why if you want to ACTUALLY choke someone out and put pressure on them from behind, you need to wrap your arm around the front of their neck and squeeze. That is how you choke someone. You can try this at home, have someone come up behind you and try to choke you on the back of your neck with both hands. It doesn't work. What you are seeing someone who is panicking in public while being arrested, most likely on drugs.
If we want to go down this road than all detainment is inhumane, pushing anyone to the ground face first is inhumane, wrestling with a suspect is inhumane, tazing is inhumane.
The people who are aghast at this haven't watched police bodycam videos where black suspects are able to draw guns and knives even with 2 officers wrestling them to the ground, this actually happened a year or so ago. Everyone similarly freaked out that the guy was shot until they showed he was pulling a gun and trying to shoot them even as they were trying to cuff him. Or they rush you with a knife even after you taze them.
You know who says "I can't breathe I am in pain" and cries? 90% of all people getting arrested. "I can't breathe" is a meme in the black community at this point, they say these on all kinds of arrests now because they know people are filming (either bodycams or bystanders.) White girls hyperventilating in the backs of police cars say they can't breathe either, while screaming "rape" while being handcuffed. I don't take hysterical people at their word and burn down cities.
