It probably killed him because he was already in poor health. In any case, these cops picked the wrong moment. carelessly apply force.
Complaining of difficulty breathing? Chalk it up as another coronavirus case and call it a day.
“It probably killed him because he was already in poor health.”
Therefore, a person in poor health cannot be murdered?
It wasn’t careless, it was quite deliberate and they were taunting him also. These were four strong looking men, btw, and he was already handcuffed and lying on the ground. He started bleeding from the nose while the cop was standing on his neck.
There are simply bad, power crazed cops, who are probably feeling quite emboldened right now from their success in enforcing stay at home orders against people doing such dangerous activities as waking their dog, kayaking alone, sitting on a swing...
Two of these cops had several excessive use of force complaints against them, just like the Somali cop about two years ago who shot the white woman who was the one who had actually called them. He was so bad nobody wanted to ride with him. But MPD kept him on. So it’s a structural rot as well.
