Video: Another US Police Officer Kneels On Black Man’s Neck During Arrest

Another controversial arrest of a black man in the United States, has sparked another Black Lives Matter protests in Pennsylvania, after a police officer was caught on video putting his knee on a black man’s neck during an arrest.
The video of the arrest was recorded on July 11, 2020, outside St. Luke’s Sacred Heart Hospital in Allentown.
The viral video shows three officers trying to forcefully arrest the man, with one them holding him down with his face against the pavement, while another knelt on his neck, in the same position that led to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis two months ago.
However, the police department recently banned the use of chokeholds and other neck restraints after Floyd’s death.
In response to the incident, about 100 protesters embarked on protests on Saturday night in Allentown, WFMZ reported.
Allentown’s mayor, Ray O’Connell, and police chief, Glenn Grannitz, reportedly showed up at that protest to ease tensions.
Ben Crump, the attorney representing George Floyd’s family, wrote on Twitter:
“@AllentownPolice held down this man’s face to the pavement and then one of its officers placed their knee on his neck!! This happened yesterday (Saturday) and is exactly what led to #GeorgeFloyd’s death.
“We need this officer’s name and badge # NOW. #ICantBreathe
