Neighborhood Good Samaritans helped exhausted police officers handcuff a suspect who was resisting arrest.
Cellphone video of the incident shows a cop kneeling on the back of a suspect who refuses to be taken into custody.
As the crowd grows agitated, the cop defused the situation by asking the bystanders for a little help: “Y’all wanna help out?”
After considering the officer’s request, several bystanders stopped forward to talk the suspect into giving himself up. But the young man refused to cooperate.
One of the bystanders even offered to handcuff the suspect himself. “I just don’t want you to get hurt. I don’t want you to get hurt man,” he said.
Cops all over the country are fearful of losing their jobs after George Floyd was killed by a former officer who kneeled on his neck for nearly 9 minutes in Minneapolis in May.
