I’m not saying it wasn’t a “proper” arrest.
But, the police are winning the battle and losing the war. This guy dying over selling a stupid cigarette is the real crime.
Our government is out of control on all levels - in every bureau, every agency, every branch. That is the problem.
Just as police catch heck for shooting dogs that are minding their own business, they should catch it for having seven officers jumping this guy and squashing the air out of him for a dime of tax money.
Resisting arrest is the crime , not tax evasion. Had he not resisted arrest, he would have just gotten a ticket and/or a ride to the precinct, hardly life threatening.
It isn’t the cops that are out of control.
