At least as indicated in the video of his death, none of this is relevant. He didn't assault any police officers when he was killed and he didn't appear to be resisting or committing larceny.
Also, you do know that "resisting arrest" just means "the cops don't like this guy", right? (I suppose it's easy for folks who don't interact with the police not to know this.)
- ank_the_elder 10y agoWe must have seen different videos, then, as it's very clear from it that he was resisting arrest. Is this the one you were talking about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpGxagKOkv8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpGxagKOkv8 PS: Can you tell just how biased you are? I'm curious as to how oblivious you are of your own professional shortcomings.
- yummyfajitas 10y agoI just rewatched the video, module the actual killing part. He's having a conversation and pretty animated, waving his arms Italian style, when the police grab him. Almost immediately he's put into a chokehold. Clearly the personal attacks bolster your case.

"Who controls the past," ran the Party slogan, "controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. "Reality control," they called it: in Newspeak, "doublethink." (1.3.18)"
