So if you resist arrest you should have the air squeezed out of your lungs until you suffocate???
Are your papers in order comrade?
Comply or die?
If nothing else, this is completely tasteless and offensive to the family of the deceased. Really not a good “public relations” move.
Basically.
“Comply or Die”
Sure fits better on a t-shirt than:
“Protecting & Serving..to include but not exclusively..., SWATing Walmart shoppers, Shooting dogs, Flashbanging sleeping toddlers, Seizing Assets, Tasering Grandpa, and the Above All Priority - Officer Safety goes home to his family every night...”
Billboard time.
General rule of thumb: don’t break the law, and you won’t have to deal with the consequences of breaking the law.
Yes, there are exceptions. Once we’ve objectively worked passed how many people are manhandled for resisting arrest which subsequently leads to a conviction for lawbreaking, THEN we can take a look at the rather small number of people who resist arrest but are, in fact, not guilty.
The guy in question wouldn’t have gotten the air squeezed out of his lungs if he hadn’t been doing something overtly illegal (which he knew was illegal, as he’d been arrested for it some 8 times before).
C'mon, you KNOW that is a lie. He died of heart failure in an ambulance, not from suffocation. When you can't breathe, you can't speak, as he did repeatedly. He died of gross obesity and the medical problems it causes.
