You almost never hear of a 400lb man having a heart attack.

Seems like in a lot of these cop-induced deaths, the suspect is usually resisting arrest.

Earlier today was the guy shot and paralyzed for unpaid parking tickets. Now selling cigarettes. vA killing people to save bonus money. The govt needs to be put back in its place.

As they say, "smoking kills"....but these cops have taken the phrase to a whole new level.

Oh but de Blasio is a communist, so no one is going to criticize him.

Asthmatic, 400 pnds and having his oxygen cut off.

What could go wrong?

Seriously, what was the imperative to bring him down right there and then? (Rhet)

Yoos guyz get paid a salary and overtime. This guy wasn’t armed and you had zero interest in hearing him out.

So he has a record. He’s still a citizen and you guys, more and more, seem like thugs.

You could have talked him down and waited for cooler heads to prevail.

But, being as you’re city boyz you like to wrastle steer to the ground and get your jollies.

problem with most of you pussies is that most of us are compliant or try to make our case and you take advantage of our respect for cops and our muted response to your aggression.

For sure, if you had no badge things would go down differently.

Hell of a way to die, being strangled while probably having a heart attack.

The world is now safer from an untaxed cigarette seller and all cops went home safely that night.

Don’t know what the cops knew or what they saw him do. Was he in the gang connected to the cop killer in Jersey City, a few miles away? A cop was shot to death by the Bloods, and they made a shrine to his killer. I am sure all police have quick triggers right now, and that is to be expected.

If you don’t want to be dragged to the ground, then don’t resist arrest.

If the cops say turn around, you turn around. I don’t want to live in a society where people do not have to listen to the police. I also don’t want to be abused by police, but I did not see that here. He resisted and invited the violence, which was restrained. Frankly for his size, this was not abusive but warranted force. No blows were delivered, and the choke hold was not prolonged.

This amount of force does not kill a human being, this person had other health issues.

If it turns out the man was being wrongfully harassed by police when then that changes the situation.

Part of the problem is there are WAY WAY too many laws on the books. We’ve given the cops too many excuses to turn people’s lives upside down. For no good reason.

Sad to see - one thing is sure : If this happened in a city run by a Republican - even a rino - Al and Jesse would be marching. But we'll never hear about this again.
I worked in the next precinct over from where this happened. I've watch the video and I can't figure out what was so urgent about bring this guy down. No weapon no fighting nothing. He sold cigarettes illegally? AND?

Way too excessive force.

The policeman that killed him needs to be fired, fined, and sent to JAIL.

The video is still out there and has been saved to a thousand hard drives...

I do not deal well with government corruption and or those who support government using their badge of authority to treat Americans like some foreign enemy.

My comments are over on this thread.

We are harnessing all resources available to the City to ensure a full and thorough investigation of the circumstances of this tragic incident.

Blasio will either use this incident to restrain the police from being proactive preventing crimes even more or it will be covered up...

As a good commie probably both...

I saw it also when it was first posted.

Anyone who saw the video saw that the POLICE are definitely CULPABLE in this situation.
