He still thought he was above being arrested and DID NOT COMPLY WITH THE POLICE ORDER TO SUBMIT.
Granted. The cops couldn't just leave. They had a duty to arrest. The main problem I have is what they did (and failed to do) after he was complaining about not being able to breath. At least get off and check the guy. Cops, it seems, just assume that every time someone complains of medical issues during an arrest, the arrestee is faking it. You can't assume that. It might increase danger to cops to check, but that's not avoidable.
