But when you have the guy down, knee on his neck, there is a crowd of bystanders saying you are going to kill him, he is saying he can’t breathe and is begging you not to kill him, and you keep your knee there not only until he is unresponsive, but for a long time after... well, at some point you made a go/no go decision that was lethal.
I definitely understand those that are disappointed and want to see a higher charge

Agree with all of it...100%
To the hi-lited though...I too would like 2nd degree but is it not better to have a slam dunk charge rather than one that he could possibly skate on?
Being they have already successfully convicted a cop on 3rd....and its harder to convict police than an ordinary citizen, I get what they are doing.
