Delirious
this is tragic.  Don't get me wrong.  The way he was taken into custody isn't different from any other person who resists arrest.  A guy that large, they control the head.   He could speak, so he wasn't being choked to death.  His head, if it did hit the pavement, didn't cause his death.   He may of had a medical condition or heart condition that lead to this.   He didn't cooperate with authorities.   He was wrong for not cooperating and this caused him to be apprehended.   The force used to do this did not cause him to die.  He died because of his health.   You can't tell from looking at people who will withstand being taking into custody and whom can't.   If 5 or so cops were involved,  I would say that that was needed to apprehend him. He was a large guy.   Not one person caused his death.  It's just circumstance of his poor health.  
 
This is sad all the way around.  He should of cooperated and the cops should of evaluated if he was a threat and just left him alone.  I don't know the motive for arrest. Was it disorderly conduct in public? Disturbing the Peace?  Was it because he was selling illegal items?  Time will tell.  
 
 

"The 350-pound man, about to be arrested on charges of illegally selling cigarettes, was arguing with the police."
 
Maybe if he went on a diet, He'd still be alive... Or you know... didn't do anything illegal or if he did, He could have taken ownership and co-operated.
 
You know... Could have... 'Cause he's dead. Lol.

 
Yeah, and if I didn't obey the speed limit and was moving too fast in my car and killed myself or someone else, I guess it was my choice. We all have them to make.  Sometimes, it leads to our demise.
