A video of a Seattle police officer posted on Twitter showed his knee on the head and neck of a protestor from George Floyd, which contributed to the death of the Minneapolis man that contributed to a national protest.
In the video, two police officers are compelled to stand in a shiny orange sweatshirt. They are shown to hold on, as they impose restrictions on him, to the ground. One officer uses his knee to hold the fellow down and cause spectators to shout at the cops, “Get your f*cking knee off his neck! “As the man pleaded for assistance.
The second official noticed the calls and instructed his colleague, when they saw they were filmed, to move his knee.
