"Another shit situation that the media is going to cause more trouble than necessary. Not a lot of data is given, but the dude resisted; which means the cops are going to get handsy."
"handsy"?
did you see the video, right? there were two policemen and even accounting for the US police being often more violent you can clearly see one of them walking away and turning his back, this means that the person arrested was under control.
And once he's down, normal policemen would make sure he's calm and say ok, now don't move, agreed? I am going to cuff you - especially as there are two of them. The second one could have helped. If a few small unarmed female nurses can restrain violent male, large, psychotic patients, two policemen with guns can restrain one person, at least I would say.
Also I mean putting your weight on someone's neck on the kerbside can break the spine, crush the larynx, do many things that somebody whose job is to know how to arrest people should know about.
I understand that a policeman hearing I can't breathe, you're breaking my arm, etc. can't believe all of them but this one was restrained, the policeman was not alone and he didn't need to put the man in a situation where he could die (as he did).
Sure, we have no idea, maybe the man died of cancer, maybe at the hospital someone gave him a wrong injection, but everything indicates the officer caused his death and certainly what the officer did is not incompatible with crushing the larynx or breaking the man's neck and because the officer has been instructed in what to do and not to do, it can really be murder.
I really wouldn't just dismiss it as "police being handsy" because if someone says turn your back and you say why I didn't do anything and the policeman says ok, resisting, I'll take you down and kneel on your neck against a rock you wouldn't like it
