It's not clear that the offices used excessive force, your assuming because the man died that it was excessive, but there were a lot of contributing factors, not just the "choke hold" his health was the most likely contributing factor. The officers had to escalate their force due to the male not being compliant. It is truly unfortunate that the man died, and the police very well could be held accountable, even criminally if investigators/district attorney deem it appropriate.

No, I'm not assuming just because he died, he was using excessive force. Putting a choke hold on a person is excessive, considering he did not fight, or physically resist the officers. There are a lot more safer methods of detaining someone than constricting a human's blood flow to the brain and airway isn't one of them.
