That method of restraint is practiced by many police departments. You think Chauvin just tried a new WWF move that day, or you think he's used it before?

I'll just reiterate that anyone not capable of holding in their mind that 2 bad things occurred is either underinformed, or myopically focused and incapable of accepting that two things can be true at once.
The citizen's behavior is irrelevant to the law enforcement officer's behavior, unless an immediate threat is present (even in that scenario I can make a solid argument for the LEO to not escalate the violence). The law is (supposedly) the standard for citizens. The LEO is (supposed to be) held to a high standard.
