An Allentown, Penn. cop was recently filmed kneeling on a man’s neck, restraining him in Pretty much the same way former Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin restrained George Floyd, resulting in Floyd’s death.
According to CBS Philly, the video was taken on Saturday outside of St. Luke’s Sacred Heart Hospital at around 6:30 p.m. as officers responded to a man who was vomiting and staggering along the street, before ending up on the hospital emergency room’s driveway.
“As officers attempted to restrain the individual, all parties fell to the ground. The individual continued to be non-compliant which required officers to restrain the individual and the hospital applied a spit shield.”
The man was eventually taken into the hospital for treatment and later released.
