I wish I could plug a video that's an unedited recording of the encounter, but that would require work I'm not interested in doing.

Black guy chose not to cooperate with the police and panicked. Several officers, individually outclassed by the lone massive black guy, took him down quickly and forcefully during which the guy experienced breathing difficulties and later died. It's a rarity I side with the victims of police violence, but there's sufficient evidence to side with the victims family here.

The NYPD's been running intel on everyone they deal with since 9/11, so I think the cops targeted the black guy thinking he might've been a local street gang lieutenant and wanted to bring him in to gather intel on him because he broke up a street fight the police had been observing. It doesn't make sense to arrest a guy for selling loose cigarettes. Just card the guy, ticket him, and move on.

experienced breathing difficulties and later died.

Soooo, fatty died of athletic overexertion? Are cops not allowed to stop fat criminals?

Not a concern to me. If black guy didn't want to die, he should've cooperated and sued later. My concern is that NYPD started getting sloppy in gathering their intel during the Bloomberg years. I don't imagine it's gotten better with Wilhelm/DeBlasio. The sort of law enforcement problems NYC, LA, Miami, Boston, Detroit, and other democrat run cities encounter, tend to develop elsewhere within a decade. And with the expansion of section 8 into predominantly white suburbs, I can already tell which communities have been out flanked.

They targeted him because he was selling loose cigs.

(((They))) don't get any tax $ from the sale of loose cigs.

You're not real familiar with Jew York's lust for taxable shekels are you?

They were honestly considering taxing fucking garage sales.
