Honestly I think it’s terrible that we think it’s perfectly normal and okay for cops to physically force someone to the ground with no mention of resistance.
“Keep your hands where I can see them and I’m going to cuff you while I search your pockets.”
“Please get in the back of the car” while lightly holding the inside of someone’s elbow should be all that is needed after checking their person for any weapons.
There was definitely resistance from the young guy. It just didn’t make my story. The police in the country where I’m from have a much higher standard of engagement with people. Their actions we well justified.
