Because that is literally what you are saying here.


honestly I don't know. it wouldn't even matter lawful or unlawful - its about the process of subduing the suspect.

clearly no one intended to put that man in a position where he had a heart attack, but homicide isn't defined by intent, but actions or lack of actions

So do you have a policy that says once we are in the process of subduing you and until you are subdued, whatever is happening to you is irrelevant?

its a tough call in my mind.
