Seems to me he was "unresponsive" at the scene. He might have died on the way to the hospital, but it was the arrest that did it. You can blame this one choke hold all you want, but when six police officers wrestle a four hundred pound man in poor health already down to the ground... Well....

I don't understand this either. No matter what you do what a police officer says. Always.
The media has a lot to do with this too. Micheal Brown might have been a teenager, but he was also a two hundred and eighty pound man - that's a far cry from what we consider a teenager. This shit that went down in Phoenix is the same thing - The headline reads "another unarmed black man shot and killed" and show a friendly looking man in a santa clause hat but fail to mention he was selling drugs and had a shotgun in the car.
You know what... You get what you deserve in life. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
