    Entirely political. Police do the same thing all over but because it was a black man on cellphone video the entire black community rioted and burned everything down for a month. Should they have been convicted? Probably. Was it deliberate? Most likely not. Dude was hopped up on fentanyl.

        Oh sorry my bad. What I meant to say is he was high on drugs and had an extensive criminal history. He started the encounter by fighting the police. Don’t fight the police.

          Neither point is any reason to even remotely justify what happened to him. Not even one bit.

            Why not? If somebody fights against you as a cop you’ll be less likely to let up and allow them room to escape. Most people would be fine in that situation. It was kind of a freak accident.

              No it wasn’t. It was manslaughter at least.

              But that’s enough fish for you,troll.

                Why do you think I’m a troll. I just disagree with you. And does manslaughter get you 20 years?

                    I said nothing about being deserved or not, but sometimes actions have consequences which nobody wants but happen anyway due to circumstances nobody predicted. Sure are a whole lot of people now saying how they can’t breathe but still not a whole lot of them dying.

          Sadly the left adore the race baiting politics of this stunt

          They need this to feel virtuous. They ignore all the evidence of saint fentanyl and his drug journey
