Well, I think the cops, the gang in blue that is supposed to protect and serve him and respect his rights, abused the power they think they have over citizens and went way to far over what was a non issue. If anything they should be thanking this man for doing the job they weren't able to do. You know, stopping the fight in front of his place.

I do agree, it's best to take the choice that gives the best odds of staying alive, but maybe you should watch the video again, there was no resisting, there was no choice. The cop who jumped on him from behind and started choking him decided he was judge, jury and executioner, taking away his choice and his life in under a minute. And with a choke hold that has been banned for use by the police force.

Did the words, I cant breathe threaten that cops life or the lives of anyone else around?

Do you not know the difference between a officer of the law and a street thug? I'm sure you do, so I'm sure you already realize how lame of a comparison that was.

Now, repeat the words I cant breathe 6 times, and that was all the time it took for that cop to kill a man who was not resisting, who was on the ground with several other cops pinning him down.
