The knee-on-neck is an Israeli restraint hold that Israeli forces use for breaking Palestinian necks. \u00a0I doubt the Minneapolis cop intended to kill Floyd. \u00a0He probably thought he was just using a restraint technique. \u00a0In so many of the cases of police-inflicted death and injury there is no need for restraint. People are not resisting. Maybe the cops just want to practice their training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Another main cause of police-inflicted death and injury are the middle of the night home invasions, sanctioned by courts and local authorities. \u00a0There is absolutely no reason for these invasions. \u00a0They are nothing but murder weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The real murderers of George Floyd were the Israelis who taught the Minnesota cops the knee-on-neck restraint technique. \u00a0The irresponsible court rulings that permit unannounced home invasions have also killed a lot of people.

The cop will pay the price for his wrongful training just as did George Floyd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It is pure idiocy to let those responsible for these practices off the hook and to run around shouting \u201cracism.\u201d \u00a0Knee-on-neck is a restraint technique taught to the police. \u00a0It is not racism. The technique should not have been taught to American police, and people who are not resisting should not be restrained.
