Using this logic, any person resisting arrest could be shot.
Nonsense.
The law only allows a police officer to use just enough physical force necessary to subdue the person.
That's what the police did in this case.

find a bad cop who deliberately used excessive physical force and as a result someone was killed and I'll agree with you that he should be punished to the fullest extent the law allows.

Great in theory. In reality, it ends up being Kelly Thomas. Where cops can kill with impunity.
More nonsense.
In reality, what you want to do is keep the police from being able to detain anyone who resists arrest and that would result in anarchy.

I'm guessing you have no idea who Kelly Thomas is. I'm not a fan of anarchy. I'm not a fan of cops with no accountability. I'm not a fan of a system which will not or cannot, because of structural reasons, hold police officers accountable for their actions.
Pretending everything that happened in the Eric Garner case is justified will only heighten the divide between law enforcement and civilians. I think the divide has always been there. The civilians are just starting to notice.

And for the record, this actually isn't true. There are many cases where the minimum force necessary to stop someone from escaping would be grounds for prosecution.
