What happens at 1:15?
What are you referring to?
no dogs shot...hooray!
What does than mean in this situation? What are you implying wideawake?
Are you suggesting the black man killed himself?
[ You must follow orders, that is more important and individual safety or life. /s ]
Zee forgot zat as zee agent of der state you are der state property and in order to prevent state property from being damaged zee must use excessive force to protect zee property of zee state. /s
Thanks. I didn’t know that the steroid tests had come back positive. That’s a good bit of documented fact to know.
The guy was obviously arguing his case and the two cops were just standing there, letting him blow off steam ... then the blue tornado
So ... what was the reason the guy had to state his case his case in the first place ?
Not at all.
I'm sure he just woke up that morning weighing 400 pounds.
What does that mean in this situation? What are you implying wideawake?

Where'd ya go wideawake?
What WTF does that mean widewaake?
What are you really saying here?
The world is now safer from an untaxed cigarette seller and all cops went home safely that night.
What WTF are you implying widewaake?
What are you really saying here?
I know a bit about this incident and have viewed the video over a dozen times...
What are you really implying?
Read the law, it is amazing what the *"private contractors" get away with these days.
* private contractors, uniformed thugs sometimes called law enforcement
Ya watch this brutal video and comment on his weight?
Are you implying he died on the sidewalk due to being overweight? Is this what you're suggesting?
This black man was brutally murdered.
He appeared to be walking and breathing just fine prior to being choked off and choked to death here on the streets of America.
He even told them he was dying, repeatedly gasping the words he was unable to breath. And you comment on his weight? Implying it was his fault?
Are you so GD pro-government you'll defend them regardless?
I was going to ping the entire forum to this thread so they can view the video and your comments wideawake...
But I won't. I've already got your number.
Just wait till they send in the SWAT transfat assault team.
In one of them, explain why it is an anomaly that a 400 lb man should have a heart attack.
Perhaps it is, and perhaps he should get special privileges.
After all, if I refused to cooperate with an arrest, I know that I would be made to cooperate one way or another.
But I'm only half his weight, so maybe the law should only apply to me and not to him.
Don’t know what the cops knew or what they saw him do. Was he in the gang connected to the cop killer in Jersey City, a few miles away? A cop was shot to death by the Bloods, and they made a shrine to his killer. I am sure all police have quick triggers right now, and that is to be expected.
If you don’t want to be dragged to the ground, then don’t resist arrest.
If the cops say turn around, you turn around. I don’t want to live in a society where people do not have to listen to the police. I also don’t want to be abused by police, but I did not see that here. He resisted and invited the violence, which was restrained. Frankly for his size, this was not abusive but warranted force. No blows were delivered, and the choke hold was not prolonged.
This amount of force does not kill a human being, this person had other health issues.
If it turns out the man was being wrongfully harassed by police when then that changes the situation.
Cities are going to start burning and the cops will be lighting the match.
Why is that, exactly?
His death could just as easily have occurred if he had taken one too many flights of stairs, or if he had slipped and fallen crossing the street - he had a heart attack. He was not shot, or stabbed, or poisoned.
Had he been a healthy 200 pounder and had been forcibly made to comply with the arrest, he would be alive and complaining right now.
If he had simply acknowledged that he was being arrested and done what a rational person would do: ask what the charges are, request a lawyer, and tell a friend or family member to call a lawyer, he would be alive.
But he decided to resist arrest, even though he was well aware that he would still be taken into custody one way or another.
He didn't just arrive here from Mars. This was not his first rodeo.
