If a dozen cops can’t handle a simple daytime arrest of an obese person without doing something wrong and killing him, then something is wrong.

There seems to have been a policeman there that contributed to this death during a petty arrest.

You obviously have never tried to make an arrest on a subject under the influence of certain drugs or combination of drugs. I have and had my ass kicked in the process. I have also had to combat a person under arrest and handcuffed as the person was trying to ram his head through a brick wall. You do what you have too do to survive.....

He had underlying conditions. If somebody put me in a chokehold I wouldn't die of heart failure brought on by an asthma attack. I suppose they could have considered whether a morbidly obese person might have medical problems, but then why did he kick up such a fuss over a citation and try to resist 12 guys if was worried about his own health?
