Then somehow he's out of the car( sorry, I don't know these details) must of been some scuffling going on...again agitating the breathing issue. He's then put to ground and we all know the results.
Had he stopped breathing in car,, no murder......or roughing up outside...no murder...but when they get this football player sized man down to ground,, he succumbs, stops breathing, and now we have a murder.
(I am no way in agreement with the extended time of the knee-throat thing)...but I do believe there are many variables here, that might not be able to be answered.
You make some very good observations...

But he sure was able to breath when he was resisting arrest, screaming at the top of his lungs and was strong enough to prevent 4 officers from simply putting him in the back of a cruiser...

Unfortunately, most of the other stuff will never be able to be proved in court...
