De Blasio Wants Answers After a White NYPD Cop Used His Uncontrollable, Absolute Authority to Forcibly Control Citizens To Kneel on a Handcuffed Black Man's Neck Despite New Law Banning Neck Kneeling

WILL WE EVER FIND THE RIGHT PERSONS TO RULE OVER US? From [HERE] Mayor de Blasio is demanding “immediate answers” from the NYPD after video showed an officer in Queens apparently kneeling on a Black man’s neck during a reckless driving arrest. 

“After George Floyd was murdered, we passed a law to ban chokeholds and kneeling directly on people’s necks,” de Blasio tweeted Thursday afternoon.

“I’ve seen the video from a recent arrest and I’m deeply disturbed. A full investigation is underway and I demand immediate answers from the NYPD.”

The tweet took NYPD brass by surprise, one high-ranking police source told the Daily News.

The NYPD and the Queens District Attorney’s office have said the incident is under investigation. Police body camera footage is part of that review.

The video shows the Saturday arrest of ATV rider Sircarlyle Arnold, 34, who told The News that he didn’t resist arrest, and was determined not to be another George Floyd, who died on May 25, 2020, after a Minneapolis cop kneeled on his neck for several minutes.

The video appears to show the officer kneeling on Arnold’s neck for at least several seconds, though it is not clear how much force was applied. As the arrest played out, witnesses yelled for the cop to ease up.

A new city law bans police from using a chokehold or otherwise blocking someone’s airway. In response to the new law, the NYPD issued a training video, and urged officers to step in if a fellow cop is using such force.
