he was sitting on the side from the very start, you can see his leg on the block
coles notes of what I observed:
can't tell if cop told guy to get down or not, but he came in to do an entering throw, guy didn't have his hands up, he brought them up to brace for impact when cop came up on him.
1st knee was to roll him over
2nd was the actual knee to gut, can't tell how resistive/stiff guy was but could argue it was used for compliance (or argue it was unnecessary)
other knees like 1st are for compliance by putting their weight on him so he can't move/get up (knee control is used in martial arts)
what surprised me is he stretched out the arm to take out the slack for body/arm control (also martial arts) for the cuff
all this would be excessive IMO if he was only pulled over there with no interaction prior, but there was a story before this it seems. IMO techniques used are for body control/compliance without "harm" to the guy i.e. didn't need an ambulance-not trying to break anything, not using him as a punching bag (minus the 1 knee).
for what it's worth, the entering throw was done pretty softly. it's a common move in a few martial arts to unbalance someone and it can be done HARD. the cop's was just enough to put the guy on the ground like a shove to the ground vs getting him in the air and slamming him hard on the pavement.
could be the cold medication i'm currently on
, but this doesn't seem like an unexpected reaction if the dude was being chased by the cops in a dangerous situation.
