Quote:Even if he was verbally lying, they could have realized by his body languages he was struggling to breathe. 

 

So once he became non-compliant, he lost his human rights as well?

 

"Could" doesn't work, it's a hindsight judgement made without the accompanying stressors of the moment. And no, he doesn't lose his human rights, but he placed himself in the position of having to be restrained by the police by his actions. Actions have consequences, and the tendency of the media, the community and folks like you is to focus on the actions of the cops without due consideration to the events that created the circumstances. Did he get what he deserved? No, but the outcome was created in part by his willful choice to 1. disobey the law and 2. resist arrest.
