I just watched the video of several body cams (and one witness video) of the January 3 police interaction. They knew who he was - it was obvious as they called him by name. (He was the cousin of the leader of BLM). It was immediately obvious to me that the guy had mental issues and was extremely panicked. It was also obvious to me that he was being choked by the cop with his arm pressing down on his throat.
I am so glad that I wasn’t born a minority. I was texting with an old (black) friend recently (his birthday is a couple days before mine so I am always able to remember and wish him well). We were discussing recent events and I said I was devastated by the continued uprising of racism in the world. He agreed and I immediately felt bad, because I know he suffers from it whereas I just observe.
