Yes, it matters. He was a lifetime criminal and a waste of a human being. His death is NO loss to society.
He was not "killed" by officers. He "killed" himself. The loser was subdued by officers, consistent with their authority to detain a suspect, and feigned "I can't breathe" (mimicking others for whom it has worked) while talking just fine. The officer was using a police-approved control technique that, wait for it, is used on noncompliant subjects of ALL colors and socioeconomic status.
Lefty media doesn't report the truth or facts pertinent to a given story/issue. They deceptively tailor their "news" to meet the lefty agenda. Hence, fake news.
Yep, there is no a shred of truth or basic honesty in any of the mainstream media reporting....it's all propaganda to perpetuate their quest for power and control.
All this armchair blathering here simply shows that many posters here do not have clue one about how our system of justice works, or more importantly, about the roles, responsibilities and expectations for police officers within that justice system.
Their responsibility is ALWAYS to bring a suspect into court, intact and alive. Only in situations where there is an urgent threat to life do they ever consider the use of deadly force. And when they have to use it, there will be an investigation, as there should be.
In this case, the prosecutor brought a second degree charge for the murderer and 3 aiding and abetting. He would not have brought the charges if there was not a clear path to conviction. It isn't complicated or even debatable in this case.
IF THE GUY IS RESISTING ARREST - IT IS OKAY.
He's committing assault and battery (a felony) on the officer. What else is he supposed to do?
Wheedle, "pretty please with sugar on top?"
Newsflash: If he is unconcious, he's PROBABLY no longer resisting arrest.
And from what I saw, they got him out of his car, and at the time they cuffed him, he was not resisting. If he was before that time, then I can understand an "aggressive cuffing", but once he is not resisting, they can probably stop trying to choke him to death.
The ONLY problem I might have with 2nd degree charges is they are harder to convict. If this murderer gets off for his crimes, the country will errupt. I'm not saying it should, or that it shouldn't, just that it will.
Because the Liberal media has an agenda to promote and they don't let the facts get in their way. It's much more inflammatory to report that the "sweet, kind Gentle Giant" was murdered and that's what they're going for.
That being said, it does not in any way excuse the behavior of the officer.
The guy has a criminal history and was a dirt bag, as far as I'm concerned there is one less scumbag on this earth.
I understand and agree with that principle for the most part, but what possible evidence could come forward that would justify the action of continuing to choke someone for several minutes after they lose consciousness?
If I could even think of a scenario that would excuse that action, I would withhold judgement.
There have been many times in my 53 years when I have seen something and thought "there is nothing that could justify this" or similar sentiments, just to have something show up that I never considered, and changed my mind.
Do I think it will happen in this case? Not really. But I would never convict someone before they have had their day in court, and I do not think the media, politicians and citizens should proclaim murder before a trial.
