“Was using a banned chokehold one of the charges the GJ was considering?”

“Was acting improperly one of the charges the GJ was considering?”

Those facts indicate negligence or recklessness, which were a component to many of the charges, yes.

Apparently the facts do not indicate that.

No.

True.

How can anyone deem what was reckless / I wasn’t there holding down the 400 pound man (accidental, yes). I wonder if this is emotional thinking / the picture of the cops over top of a suspect. The jury didn’t see this as reckless apparently. True bill. They have more evidence than we do. When a person is told to calm down, move, put your hands behind your back, why resist / most of the times, a person isn’t going to win because the officer (s) could assume one meant to do them or someone else bodily harm.

I am reading conflicting messages on twitter than the man had a heart attack (due to the hold and his poor health) I’d like to wait to hear more info. I think it was irresponsible for Charles to say what he did without the testimony of the witnesses being released. The prosecutor is trying to get that released but the mayor says no..

Of course, I feel sympathy since there is a loss of life. The victim has been warned a number of times do not sell these cigarettes there. 8 tickets or alike. In the beginning, he was combative. I wish it turned out differently for both sides. I can’t see the cops went in to deliberately to kill this poor man.
