The trouble is if you spend 9 minutes calmly choking someone to death, you cant really argue you didnt know you were killing him, he literally told them they were killing him, and manslaughter requires an action that results in death that the perpetrator could reasonably believe wouldnt result in death.
The other problem is a cop is trained in the use of force, he or she has less legal lee way because of that
