That man died resisting arrest. It was tragic and unfournate, but that’s what happened. But for the actions of that man, he would still be alive. When you are put under arrest, turn around and raid your hands. You weren’t there, the only thing you know is the myopic view of that home video. A grand jury of 23 of his peers decided not to indict the officers you are judging from afar. duhblazio should have stood begins the people, instead he inflamed the situation, along w simpleton and ohdumbo.

Resisting arrest? Across the spectrum - crossing all political lines it has been said - how exactly did he resist arrest?

There are other ways to have handled this, as has been noted on cable news by people formerly in law enforcement.

I am neither for chaos, nor am I for “Kneel before Zod,” either.

You say that I wasn’t there, and then bring in the grand jury an thus make a fallacious Appeal to Authority. Just because they are a grand jury doesn’t make them absolutely correct, especially if we don’t have a system that would be the best to have: bring in special prosecutors to handle all situations where cops kill someone.

That would ensure a fairer grand jury trial, remove any chance of local DA’s (who work with these local cops on a regular basis having their fallible humanity leak in, and thus potentially blind their judgment), and take away an argument that protesters are using against the cops and local DA’s/PA’s.
