you posted an article that in summary said:

choke holds are illegal
choke hold overused
and that the law is wrong because the city places too high on a tax preventing its poor people from getting the self damaging cigs they want

please

I mentioned this reasoning about 20 pages that way <----

The laws surrounding the incident are the real issue. The laws that brought those cops to that place. THey are fricking stupid laws.

The cop did not put him in a chokehold for selling untaxed cigs.
He resisted arrest. Force was used. He died

The more laws you pass that require cops to come into contact with civilians more often, you increase the odds of these type of incidents. While that doesn't mean we should abolish, say murder laws, it does, at least to me, suggest we should probably not have stupid fricking laws that create the tense situation in the first place.
