I would say that if he wasn't resisting the arrest he would still be alive. Was it a justifiable arrest? Well that is a whole different discussion all together. He was doing something deemed illegal and he knew the drill having been arrested some 30 previous times. That could be called harrasment but if a cop sees someone breaking the law they are obligated to intervene; fine, arrest, warn etc... It is all moot now and I understand that but there are very few people who have died that have cooperated with law enforcement.
