Now maybe its possible as this man rolls over that it turned into one but Read that nypost article. There was no damage.

Also being ignored...he died because his preexisting condition and chest compression...he did not have a problem breathing until AFTER they rolled him over.

I ask again how do they subdue and cuff a man that is resisting???? Hello?

The move was a headlock, not a choke hold per media. There's a legal difference.

This was a tragedy. Period. Nothing more and nothing less. The victim didn't die because he was black, and the officer didn't have malice towards the victim. It's a sad tragedy. Lot's of "if"s and "but"s on all sides here.
