Cops are violent people.
Cops answer to no one and can do what they please.
Rape, Murder, Torture whatever they feel like.... your constitution was created for a reason.. however there are too many sheep now that support mass rape, murder and torture so... things will not end well.
Yes, let's generalize all cops as being violent people based on the actions of a few. Cool story bro. Newsflash! Not all cops are violent rapists/murderers/torturers. There are actually quite a few I'm sure that are good people who generally care about other human beings.
I agree that his death was caused by several factors including his poor health (which was his own doing for being morbidly obese) and his own decision to resist arrest. He was being accused of selling loose cigarettes, which, apparently in ultra-liberal New York City, is a crime. It was also stated that he had a rather lengthy rap sheet with 46 charges.
While I do agree that any death that could have otherwise been avoided is a tragedy, to overlook the above stated facts and jump straight to condemnation of the cop who was doing his job of enforcing the law and clearly showed no intent to murder the man is just plain silly.
