Agree with you completely. This rush to judgment has to stop and lumping this guy in with the Brown’s of the world is too much.
It appears I was right in assuming he had medical and drug issues which likely led to his death. We'll see further as others perform their autopsies......currently there's nothing evidencing he died from asphyxiation.
He had coronary 'stress' disease as well coronary heart disease.....so consider the stress he put himself in trying to pass off counterfeit money long before any police were on the scene,..further he was caught by the store owner doing so adding to that stress.... So he was already in full stress before the officers arrived,.....add in what drug or alcohol or both he had digested he was a dead man walking, which would explain why he couldn't stand up when they first took him out of his car, he dropped to the pavement twice and could not stand on his own before brought to the sidewalk.
At the sidewalk he was still in distress as he banged his head against his knee...and you see that distress when they lifted him up full faced in the video..and he's sweating heavily and his expression very strained. He had told the officers his body hurt, his stomach was upset at some point which isn't clear to me yet when..
I believe he was already in the throes of his medical conditions and the drugs taking his life....also would explain his vomiting and loosing his urine when they took him down.
Unfortunately he was so inebriated and/or drugged he could not communicate coherently other than the standard officers hear so often when criminals have been taken down...only in his case it was true. For whatever reasons the black communities always get the wrong people to be the hero's for their causes.....
