Was he over-exerting himself when he had had the problem before? If so, then the guy should've known better than to fight with the cops. And if he was too stoned to know better, that's not the cops' fault.

Castigating the police for the guys level of exertion is pretty tenuous...but that level is what the report cites as the cause of death.

Asking the police to be more hesitant to shoot is one thing. Asking them to consider themselves at fault because a guy on drugs flips out and his body can't handle it is just silly.
