Exactly. This is disgusting. Cops should be charge with murder or at least manslaughter.
Dude, I have a low regard for cops as well, but at least I'm reasonable.
When the guy says put your hand behind your back you do it. Ever see anyone talk their way out of being cuffed?

The issue is that there never should have been a law on the books allowing for an arrest for this offense. It adds an unnecessary violent element to what should be no more than a citation and fine.
Hell, this guy is probably less dangerous than someone speeding, and we don't allow cops to pull people out and arrest them for minor infractions.
So in a way, I don't blame the cops, I blame the laws that prioritized arrest for this infraction

No I know. My post was based in emotion not logic. But still- cops are so aggressive these days. Like they had to choke the poor guy.

that is definitely the best response, not to resist.
But at the same time, death is not an appropriate end point for getting upset at being arrested. Its just not. the cop clearly didn't apply appropriate level of force.
frick him. he should be fired and have his pension taken away. instead, he will get a paid vacation and then back on the job.
