Fact: The official autopsy shows he did not die of strangulation. Yet the press and majority of public call it murder and have convicted the officer without a trial, on the basis of a video from a bystander without the police body cam showing the entire arrest or dialogue.
Yes, it is more than sad that his cries for air went unheeded; however, people in that state use any ploy to be unrestrained. I am aware of the lies and deceptions of alcoholics and drug addicts, first-hand.
Yes, it is sad that he died. It is sad when anyone dies. But to call it murder, without a trial, shows the self-righteous are the truly judgmental ones. Hard to believe there will be a fair trial, but hope so.
All factual thanks
