I know now I am very middle of the road. If I kneeled unnecessarily on the neck of a man handcuffed and subdued for 10 minutes ... three full minutes after he stopped saying "I can't breathe" and stopped breathing, I'd expect to be in a lot of trouble. If cops show up when I'm about to knife somebody I think really deserves it and I ignore a cop's demand that I get on the ground, I'd expect to be shot. Maybe I'd be so mad I didn't care, but I wouldn't be surprised. Fortunately, I've made it 60 years and never felt the need to charge somebody with a knife... whether or not the cops are around.
I guess it's nice to know that even if I did something as stupid as this couple of characters in the news, some really tribal folks would have my back.
