The autopsy shows that they did not.

Have you read the post? Would you direct me to where I can read the autopsy?

He had a coronary.

Well you have a coronary, I have a coronary.....I suppose you mean he had a myocardial infarction. The term 'coronary refers to the heart. Many people use the term loosely to refer to Mi or myocardial infarction. Well, lets take a look at that. What causes an MI?.....occlusion of the coronary arteries with resultant hypoxia of the cardiac muscle served by that particular vessel, coronary artery spasm, stress, physical exertion, drugs, and many other things.. You seem fixated on his weight....not the stress which he was deliberately put through, which, in my opinion, seemed excessive. Now you also absolutely deny he did not die of asphyxiation. Perhaps airway occlusion would be a better term to use. Airway occlusion does not mean 100% occlusion. Many people die as a result of airway occlusion when their bronchi are occluded 50%, 60%, OR less. One may also not be able to 'move' air if there is so much pressure on the abdomen and chest that the chest will not move through an excursion and thus, move air in and out oflthe lungs. People with obstructive lung disease will have problems ( emphysema, chronic bronchospasm, asthma) or restrictive airway disease. Any occlusion will increase resistance of airflow, and if he is compromised there may not be enough airway to sustain life WITHOUT crushing his trachea. Yes, I would love to read the autopsy report.

He had a coronary.

Well, perhaps a Grand jury or an impaneled jury will make that determination. I hope so.

The guy died of natural causes.

I have sat on 3 juries. If I looked at the video, the silly notion that he died of natural causes would be unsellable.

The slight amount of force that was used to effect the arrest was justified. The death of a guy who - given his physique and level of fitness - could have died at any moment is not their fault.

"COULD HAVE DIED AT ANY MOMENT".....

Couldn't we all.....lightning, a meteorite hitting us, a sink hole takes us down while we are asleep....."You see, 'Could have' is not the measuring stick. Reasonable doubt will exonerate, not "COULD HAVE". And the jury will be asking themselves, 'do I believe the nonsense you are spewing, or am I going to believe my lying eyes"? Reasonable people will make reasonable judgements. We shall see.
