It's interesting how the other guy in the car followed instructions and wasn't harmed in any way...
If simply complying would have saved his life then it was the interaction with the officers that ended his life, yes? That is what the trial should be about, whether the action of the officer caused or contributed to his death.

He was on the ground, handcuffed, one knee on his neck, another knee at least occasionally on his back, not moving, and not breathing and yet the officer still applied pressure. Can you explain what more he needed to do to comply when dying was not enough?
