Again where did this guy comply at all???
You don't think he complied some by not fighting? If you disagree I'll watch it again but all I saw was that he started to turn away; He didn't flail his arms or even try to run off like the world's biggest fullback (which would have made for a great vid). The only danger he really posed to any of those cops was that he might fall on them.
BTW, I read that a couple of EMT's on the scene have been disciplined (suspended?) for not giving him aid on the street. It's been alleged (haha, that's the weak way I have to put it because I'm too lazy to look for the link now) that the cops had the EMT's not try to resuscitate him on the street so as to try to avoid some responsibility for his death by being able to say that he was first pronounced dead in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
Also, I've read that the NYPD chief was "irate" when he saw the video. A sergeant who was on the scene might be getting in trouble for something like (fuck, I need to find the link tomorrow, I guess) "Not taking control of the situation" or some such shit.
BTW, s a guy who reads reddit's Bad_Cop_No_Donut forum pretty regularly (and has seen a lot of what look like police abuse videos), I'm surprised at all the attention this is getting but I'm happy about it.
Hopefully folks will start getting riled up about all the dogs that are being shot for very little reason by cops these days next.
