There is no "may have" about it. The coroners report states that his death was due to compression of the neck and it was ruled a homicide. In addition to that, his chest was compressed with hundreds of pounds of cop on top of him. It's easy to find online so no guess work required. He was killed during his arrest. And that's that. Is that OK or not?
Plenty of people chime in about personal histories of the dead men and I want to know who gives a flying fuck? Can cops kill people they are trying to arrest or not is what we should ask our society. I say no they may not, and if they're so cock sure that it was accidental then they can tell that to a jury while they're on trial for causing the death. So far they take the more easy route of grand jury's which is certainly what I would want too. Absofuckinglutely.
So anyway, does being choked to death by cops make you feel stress? I would guess so if I had to guess. Should cops who know they are about to confront someone who is huge and might resist bring along.. oh I don't know.. several tasers? Yeah probably. Wouldn't look as cool though? Was that their reason? Did anyone ask?? Nope. Bad fat man deserved death and did everything to himself.
