I'm glad people are making some noise and that it's being covered by the MSM. Just 10 years ago, before cell-phone cameras, it would have been reported that he was resisting arrest and the public would have bought it. The internet is changing society every day, giving voices to those whom the MSM ignores and allowing people to publicly post evidence of injustice. Flying Spaghetti Monster bless the intertubes
I posted a comment on the initial reports of this the other day - how sad that a totally avoidable mistake by this cop lead to this young man's death. At least I hope it was truly an accident.
