There seems to be disagreement here as to whether actual "deadly force" was used. I wonder, if everything had happened exactly the same way, except the person resisting arrest had no medical issues, then would anyone have died?
It's terrible that this man died, and over a petty although oft-repeated offense. But the question is, did the police kill him by using unreasonably aggressive and deadly force, or did his own poor health and unwisely confrontational behavior result in internal trauma and unexpected death?
It looks more like a criminally negligent homicide to me.
I don’t think it was an intentional killing.
