Every officer who stood by deserves that minimum, and Rodriguez deserves tripple that

Agree. They should have removed the kid from this guy’s physical control and taken over booking him. Standing by and letting/watching the officer do that should be criminal as well.

They actually pinned his legs down while he slammed his head

They should be charged. If those newbie cops who helped Chauvin kill Floyd were criminally responsible, then these guys definitely are. I’m quite positive they have more time on the force than the chauvin helpers.

They were probably scared he’d turn on them. Not an excuse at all, this MF’er deserves more jail time than he received but even a badge does not a hero make.

No, act small enough. Forget laws, they don't care about that. All you have to do is make them feel stupid. Or just be asleep in your house like Brenna Taylor...

There are no good cops they are all always involve in brutality and in abuse of power we have to stop this we need to get organize and abolish their police unions and abolish their national sheriff association as both police unions and the national sheriff association shield the police and sheriffs from not getting held accountable to the full extent of the law for their wrong doings we need changes we need real justice to happen always
