Google "police restraining a person". Apparently, "knee on the neck" is a SOP.
EDIT: And another case, from two years ago:
Funny how there were no riots back then.

Very common.
Hell, when handcuffing it is a viable method to keep them from escaping when on the ground
Are you assuming I'm pro-riot?
I am pretty sure he is not. He is just using that to illustrate that their was literally no problem until people suddenly decided it was a problem/a man under the influence of drugs died an unfortunate death.

This entire hoopla is about fomenting anti-white hatred. The left don’t give a damn about police brutality, civil rights, or anything like that when there is a white victim.
I have a problem no matter who it is used on, particularly if it leads to that person's death.

No. I'm simply saying that a) such behaviour on the part of the police is nothing unusual and b) riots are not actually about George Floyd's death, but rather a product of institutionalized anti-white racism and propaganda.

Which really screwed things up for those of us who have been complaining about actual police brutality for decades. It makes it look like we're all making a big deal out of noting; even when we point out stuff like cops being caught on tape who literally beat homeless people to death for no reason, or shoot someone's unarmed, wheelchair-bound grandfather for raising his voice, and yet ended up getting away with it.
And the cops that do make such things, Overshadowed by a good cop seen on a bad light, and good cops, the majority, getting shit because kf the bad cops
And? This doesn't make the complaints people like me have been having about the use of excessive force and police not being held accountable unfounded or invalid somehow just because there's also SJWs screeching about it, too. Libertarians have been bitching about it for decades.

Yes, but in this specific case justice was not served, the cop was given a incredibly suspect trial because of the mob, and that's not okay just because cops have had problems.
Go after the department or the training procedures but this guy got life because he followed procedure and the guy died of a overdose.

True. Police do awful things all the time and unless races of the victim and perpetrator reinforce the desired racial narratives, nobody gives a damn. The left just wants to start their race war and unfortunately, too many people on the right instinctively (perhaps reactively) support police or harsh policies they enforce. It’s two wrongs not making a right.
The left pushing BLM usually don’t even want to touch the actual policies which all too often leads to people being victimized by the police: no knock warrants, the war on drugs, cash bail, “broken windows” policing, prisons creating recidivism, a general over-proliferation of laws. They’re fine keeping all of those oppressive policies around that disproportionately affect black and poor people, while at the same time selling their racial oppression narrative.
Not only do they not care about the policies which lead to people being hurt by police, they also don’t care about black people victimizing each other, because that also doesn’t advance their narrative.
I think each case should be examined on an individual basis and not with an agenda in mind. I would hope that conservative would both push back against BLM while at the same time not putting police on a pedestal and ignoring real problems with police misconduct or the threat that law enforcement may (now or ultimately) pose to our most fundamental rights and liberties.

As far as I'm aware, Chauvin got sentenced to 22 years, not life.

I am aware. But you cannot solve the problem unless you figure out the root cause, and the Left is intentionally lying about the root cause. The real root cause is the very nature of the police force: police has power, so much like politics, it draws in people whose morals are completely out of the whack. It has nothing to do with racism, but of course the Left will use it to promote its "Whites Are Evil" BS agenda - and in that way, prevent any attempts to address real problem.

They dont care about the abuses going on in prison to the people arrested because of Jan 6, One guy was beaten by the guards so badly he went blind in one eye.

I mean, of course. This is sort of like saying "the Red Army objected to getting shot at, but didn't care when it was the White Army getting shot at. What hypocrites!"
Our friends are their enemies, our enemies their friends - that naturally extends to the habitual criminals they relentlessly lobby for, free, force into our communities, and forbid us from separating from.
5 months sounds about right for destruction of property.
But the left get nothing for doing the same to anything owned by the right. American flags included. Which are illegal to destroy improperly
