Hard to second guess. A taser might have worked, but this guy obviously had heart problems. Would it have been any better if a taser would have ignited a heart attack?

Probably not. This was just one of those things that happened.

It all could have been avoided had this guy just surrendered to his arrest and then called an attorney.

I do doubt this cop wanted this guy to die.

What bothered me was that he was outnumbered and he appeared to be unaware somebody was about to tackle him from behind. Once he was on the ground and said multiple times that he couldn't breathe, they needed to think about calling EMS to the scene but they couldn't do that cuz essentially, he was ambushed and they didn't need to go to those lengths. Brown was a thug. Garner wasn't perfect but he was tackled from behind which was the start of his death. Grand Jury wrong on this one.

He was just standing there talking to the officer in front of him when he was tackled. The tackle came out of nowhere. That wasn't DUE PROCESS. It was judge and jury once again were the bad cops. There are good cops too.
