You whine when they do nothing, you whine when they do something, exactly what do you expect them to do?
I never said the officer was wrong, for stopping the teen. It was what the officer did when the teen was on the ground. He could easily have restrained the teen. By getting on top of the teen, and putting pressure on the teen's shoulders and arms. There was no need for putting pressure on his neck.
It may seem like a stretch. But that teen could have ended up like Freddie Gray. Whose death while in police custody, sparked the 2015 race riots in Baltimore. Which led to the DA filing charges against the six officers involved in the stop, and the firing of the police commissioner by the mayor.
