no asphixiation either....

some dramatic medical emergency happened and it happened in an instant....the guy was talking up a storm and then suddenly just died....

the cops are idiots and they get away with this crap way too many times, but I suspect the the victim died of a drug OD....I suppose if the vic or his friends told the police that the vic just took a huge amount of drugs perhaps the cops decided to get an ambulance to transport and perhaps having the victim lie prone prevented aspiration....

just grabbing at straws here I know...

I suspect the combination of everything - bad heart, high blood pressure, drugs, being arrested AND having people kneel on him - triggered a heart attack. But like Rodney King, the cop will be prosecuted as often as possible to get a guilty conviction. My guess is manslaughter might fit.
