They had to kill him for selling loose cigarettes.
He was standing outside a small business that was paying taxes on cigarettes. They called the cops on him. He resisted the cops and died.
No, they had to kill him because he resisted to the point where the force applied was more than his medical condition could take. That can happen with any law on the books.
Don’t resist the police.
Get after politicians who want to pass nuisance laws because they can’t bear the heat of raising taxes.
The police are not at fault in this situation.
Another democrat ATF antigun antismoke repression but they say it is racism at fault, hence the only reason why the cop will pay. If the reason had been curtailing brutally some smoke or gun activity by a white dude, then the cops would have been praised
