I quoted the linked article & used quotation marks for that reason. It was unclear where the words of Chief Arradondo ended in the transcription & narration started. It did turn out they were not his exact words.
Maybe there is no doubt to some that he resisted, definitely not to an extent that would justify an 8:46 neck hold.
