Tell that to the cop when the boot of facisim is crushing your neck. It does not matter what crime happened in this context. The suspect is subdued and not being violent towards the officers. Yes, he is resisting. No, they will not let his arm up so that he can comply with thier orders. Yes, it is illegal to shoot him in this situation. Yes it is illegal to threaten to shoot him in this situation. Most likely it is a violation of his department’s regulations to do either of those. The police still need to follow the law, if they don’t they have no purpose. Might as well just have extra judicial mob justice and a return to the Salem witch trials, because that is what you’re advocating for. It’s disgusting. If you want to know about the case law that governs police use of force, and how this is illegal police violence, Google Graham v Connor, or the Graham Factor. ACAB as long as this cop doesn’t face disciplinary action and jail time. He commited a felony with a deadly weapon.
