[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 1197039, member: 9169"] In this case the grand jury might have got it wrong. I have watched the video, and the big dude didn't cooperate but he wasn't the least bit aggressive either. I have heard they were there to bust him for selling single cigs, but there is talk of him breaking up a fight on the video. So I don't know which brought the police to him. But once they had him down with several cops on him, and he was gasping "I can't breathe", the cop didn't appear to release his hold at all. Then he was out cold, laying there dying, and they just stood there for a long, long time. It was hard to watch. I have some sympathy for the cops, he was big as a hoss, and I would hate to be the one who had to put cuffs on him. And who would think such a big strong looking guy would be so "delicate" due to his asthma. But even a mistake, not intending to kill him, he ended up dead over a very minor offense and that should have some consequences. I switched over to CNN to watch the new Mike Rowe show, but it isn't on, they are covering protests in New York. And it's a real protest, civil disobedience laying in the street, not a fire or a looting in sight. [/QUOTE]
