Ruling the death a homicide "should not be interpreted as implying inappropriate behavior or the use of excessive force by police," he said.

In other words, he was killed by the use of appropriate force by police. The cops acted the way they do every day, even though we don't have access to their daily videos on a regular basis.

The question now is, "Would the people of Cincinnati feel comfortable with their definition of 'appropriate' force?"

Instead of blaming the cops for following their training, the Cincinnati residents should either condone the status quo or provide new guidelines to the police.

Until then, I support the police on this incident.

Yes. Wouldn't this be classified as an "accidental death"? Surely this is not "homicide". What if the perp saw the police, ran away, and had a heart attack? Is THAT "homicide"? Jeez.
