So he deserved to die because he wasn’t as fit as he should have been?

No, he died because he wasn't as fit as he could have been.

It is not a question of "deserving" - it is a question of biology.

A nation of free men should be one where a person can non violently argue with law enforcement personal.

It wasn't an argument.

He was under arrest, and he would not comply.

We are not their subjects.

Of course not. But we are all subject to the law.

If he wanted to argue the law, the correct place was in a court of law.

” But we are all subject to the law.

However wideawake your explanation is flawed as you seem to view absolute compliance with and arresting officer is required by all.

You fail to to explain why your statement “If he wanted to argue the law, the correct place was in a court of law.”

Does that not to apply to the officers administering the law enforcement duties. You seem to believe it applies only to the SUSPECTED law breaker... at least from the law books and legal definitions as determined by you. SCOTUS would argue that with you, as it is pretty much a one on one chance until the suspect is CONVICTED.

If they would have sprayed him with bear spray he would be compliant, alive, and facing court instead of dead.
Bear Spray will/has stopped POLAR BEARS of 1200 lbs why would it not stop a 400 lbs suspect?

He would have choked, maybe vomited mucus, gasp for air, but a couple of cups of water would wash it away.
Bears live with no help in washing it off, and leave all the time. The main thing is they do not want to be sprayed again so calm down and leave.

People are incapacitated but alive and after 30 minutes of water washing (or so). They are then very compliant.

But alive.
