I'm not making up excuses. As I've said in my previous comments, I believe the vascular constriction killed him, via a stroke or stroke-like event. What I am saying, is that you seem to be living in a fantasy land where you have some aversion to drugs being part of the force continuum and don't understand reasonable suspicion standards as well as the obligations and rights of citizens during an investigation.
It seems a lot of police have trouble spotting the "fakers". Literally they did a chokehold on him, how much training do you need to understand that causes harm? More excuses from you.
You seem to live in a land where just because it's written on paper and police can legally kill people, that it makes it okay. Maybe policies need to change in light of so many of these tragedies, and the willy nilly use of Ketamine and chokeholds should actually be reconsidered. Hopefully this pilot program is a success, and we can avoid the amateur hour antics that lead to Elijah's death.
Did they ask if he had any conditions before grabbing him and instigating the struggle? Did they ignore his explanations while on the ground, and his breathing complaints? It certainly is applicable, the entire point is to find ways for people to survive interactions with the police, not excuse away deaths caused by police intervention.
There are plenty of instances where 911 calls are outright lies or incomplete information is provided. It is up to the responding officers to take the reports with a grain of salt. Again, your focus seems to be to find ways to redirect blame away from the officers who directly contributed to Elijah's death.
