A few things to consider-
If it were a member of your family you'd be sick to your stomach and enraged.
Whether or not he should've been arrested for such a petty thing as selling individual cigarettes is a different matter. Personally, I think it is total horsesh!t
Surrounded by a few cops, his hands were visible and clean... and they couldn't use a different tactic to subdue and handcuff him?
Once he threw up his hands and resisted arrest and didn't comply with the cops, they DID have the authority to use "necessary force" to arrest him. (No illegal choke hold with a nightstick)
He said "I can't breath" when they were subduing him on the ground.
What happens if everyone says "I can't breath" when they are being arrested?
He died afterwards and did have a history of Asthma.
Yes I would but it wouldn't give me a licence to burn buildings, torch & turn over cars & loot the business's in the neighborhood & cause millions of dollars in damages. That's a mob mentality.

For the length of your detention, they own you....man up and deal with it. Too many hoodlums think they can mess with the thin blue line like is done in movies.
Apparently the grand jury saw this too.

I hear you loud and clear.
And I'm only repeating what other black leaders are saying....the ones being called uncle Tom's.
