I'm not a cop. I don't know how they're trained.

I think the egregiousness comes not from the move itself, but the duration a excessive use given the person was already subdued, in hand cuffs, on the ground, and not resisting.

I don't think anyone would complain about a knee on the neck of someone actively resisting arrest while they were getting the situation under control.
