"They jumped him and they were choking him. He was foaming at the mouth," Ramsey Orta, the man who shot the video, told the New York Daily News. "And that's it, he was done. The cops were saying, 'No, he's okay, he's okay.' He wasn't okay."
"They were choking him. He kept saying, 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe! Get off of me, get off of me! I didn't hear any more talking after that," eyewitness Valencia Griffin told The New York Daily News. "He died right there."

"The article makes no mention whatsoever of the innumerable examples in recent years of police officers murdering citizens, which far outnumber fatal attacks by citizens against cops.
Sickles fails to cite the case of Kelly Thomas, a homeless man who was pummeled into a coma as he begged for his life during an incident in 2011. The Fullerton, California police officers responsible for his murder were acquitted.
The article also omits a more recent case involving 38-year-old James Boyd, who was executed by Albuquerque Police Department officers for the crime of camping illegally on a remote hill. The Albuquerque Police Department alone has been responsible for murdering 26 people since 2010, many of them mentally disabled, a statistic which didn’t stop the department from recently acquiring 350 assault rifles.
The number of Americans killed by police in the United States now outnumbers the amount of U.S. troops killed in Iraq.

Over 5,000 Americans have been killed by cops since 9/11, a figure that suggests,”Americans should be more fearful of the local cops than “terrorists,” writes Katie Rucke.
To illustrate the sheer scale of the violent threat posed to the public by police officers, in cities like Seattle, 20% of all homicides are carried out by cops.

According to a recent ACLU investigation, the excessive militarization of American policing, which has contributed to cops treating citizens “like wartime enemies,” has contributed to a huge increase in injuries and deaths.

In comparison, although 2014 saw a spike, the general trend shows that police officers themselves have never been safer in the line of duty, with the number of cops killed by citizens dropping to a 50 year low back in January."
