“I’ve had cops in my family. Good men,” wrote Johnson, noting the “cop code” grants officers ”the authority to use force if your life is in danger.”
“But when a man is handcuffed, on the ground, no longer a threat, with your brothers in arms standing around watching and he struggles to say, ‘please I can’t breathe’ when your knee is on his neck, not his back, but his neck — cutting off his air. Cop code must become moral code. Ethics code. HUMANITY code,” he added.
