Agree, however...he would have ignored the court summons. Then a warrant would be issued. Then the cops would have attempted to arrest him for the warrant. And he would have resisted. Either way, there was going to be a confrontation with this guy.
He did not resist or threaten the officers in any way. I’ve watched the same video you have and cannot come to the conclusion that he resisted. The man did not deserve to die on the sidewalk like that.
