It’s a shame the guy died, but it’s his own damn fault. He was breaking the law. Cops tried to arrest him. He resisted. Anytime you resist arrest, you’re asking for trouble.
They had no probable cause to arrest or harass the man, so he should not have been forced to resist. Just because I guy has a badge that does not give him the right to put his hands on anyone.
I dont know if he was breaking the law though, they said he broke up a fight then was standing around when they accused him of selling untaxed cigarettes and when he protested saying he didnt do anything, they went wrestlemania on his ass. NYC is a fascist state, its what happens when liberals run unapposed, I moved out 2 years ago for that reason so I don’t trust anything the cops do there.
The police were inhumane and stupid. The man weighed 400 pounds, and I SERIOUSLY
doubt that he could even touch his fingertips together behind his back, let alone lock his
wrists together.
And when a man is on the ground with a bunch of thugs whacking his head on the concrete
sidewalk and choking him, and he SCREAMS (possibly more like “wheezes”) out “I can’t
breathe!” six or seven times before dying, I would say that the cops actions were ‘way over
the top.
This was murder by negligent, cruel, inhumane cops who should get tossed into the general population when they go to prison for their crime. And get those tats acid-etched off them.
I would need to know more about the reason they were questioning him, but from what I can tell so far, is that they were legitimately asking him about selling back market smokes. He did not need to resist.
