Should he have just said f**k it and left when the guy said he wasn't going nowhere with him? Once Garner activley began resisting, it was game on. Disparity of force definitely played a part.
Pepper spray, tazer. His own department said they should have used a tazer and said they will conduct more tazer training.

If he died of a heart attack from that, I'd be on the other side of this issue.

So do we let a cop off when he goes against standardized policies?
