sure. this was an avoidable tragedy. for folks who think you trotted out a garden variety police shield i ve argued when police deserve the death sentence or life sentence. i ve argued when police should go away from brutality, on use force continuum, going to excessive lengths. in this instance, we arrest timed of police officers to arrest somebody, to your point, selling loose cigarettes. what does that mean? it s a small minor infraction. and you re right about that. but those tax stamps on those cigarette taxes are what pays for improving neighborhoods like mr. garner s. so the police were dispatched to do this. they were enforcing the law. mr. garner says on that stop, leave me alone, you re not doing this to me today. mr. garner is 6 3 , 350 pounds
there s the moment he s actually on the ground. i want to show that video because dr. kupalinski, as important as the compression on the neck was, equally important, on the upper back. wasn t only pantaleo that should have been indicted. there were others involved with this killing because everybody who piled on compressing the chest could be implicated in this killing. so is somebody who isn t the size of mr. garner, mr. garner s bmi, i think, is twice the average person. higher level than normal. of somebody of an average weight though, would this maneuver of people piling on the back normally, a normal person with who s not, berking.
