I can already tell you what these "fine officers" will say, they will say they were in fear for their lives, they thought he was going for a weapon etc etc, the usual story. In their mind black people need to be eliminated, that's their "job".
This man was only there to break up a fight. But once you call the police the black man is always going to be automatically viewed as the threat, as a criminal. And their long standing policy is if you do not INSTANTLY OBEY (just like back in slavery days) then they will murder you (he is reported as critical not dead .. yet).
And who cares about the trauma suffered by his three children who were in the car and witnessed this? No one! What is this going to do to them? How are they likely to be affected? What will they be like when they grow up?
Can anyone watch that video and say these cops would have done exactly the same thing had it been a white man? [I can show you many videos where white men have fought cops, punched them, even took their weapon, or pulled a weapon, and they just subdued him.]
