Or rather his fate was sealed when his incompetent manslaughter was all recorded on video.
Or better yet, GF's fate was sealed the moment he tried to buy cigs with a fake $20 note, or when he consumed fentanyl, or methamphetamine, or resisted arrest multiple times. It takes 2 to tango!
Was DC negligent, yes certainly for the last 2 minutes of the whole incident, was it unreasonable force, not at all. He could have/possibly should have just tasered him from the start. Probably would have had the same result on his frail body either way. But we will never know, all we have is what happened, and with that we have so much doubt around the whole incident that who the Jury came to a quilty conclusion on all 3 counts is beyond me and many other people. Unless of course they were influenced in some way.
Like perhaps by the politicians, media, threat of riot and/or violence. I honestly expect the appeal to be denied and DC sentence dto the max 70 years, not because he deserves it, far from it, but because anything less will just have more riots and politicians pandering to the mob.
Sounds like a lovely place to live where mob rule wins.
