Nobody is giving valid, practical answers to what should've been done instead. The nearest thing to be suggested is that somehow, their guns, batons, and pepper spray(if they had it) were to be of some use. How? Shoot him?  Beat him unconscious? Make him more agitated and disorientated? Eg Post# 797 by Pierre. |
There is absolutely a basis for at least a manslaughter charge. What you have made is a highly technical medical argument, something that the prosecutors may not be aware of. Maybe there will be medical experts presented in the trial and maybe they will change the charges further to the other involved.
A charge is not a declaration of absolute truth.
