Oh yeah! I'll bet Faux news will be creating a scenario, blaming the whole thing on the guy who made the video of it. They'd probably say that if he hadn't been there with the phone, the killed man wouldn't have provoked the cops.

Amazing. I'm surprised they didn't say that he supplied the cigarettes so they could try him for associative murder.
No evidence? No problem, just create some.
"Bob! Pull that undeclared [[bag of weed/untraceable gun/butcher knife/take your pick) that we got from that last perp and throw it on this dead homeboy. Son of a bitch probably deserved it."
Patrick Lynch and the NYPD are losing their minds.........

Did you notice that he never told why he was being arrested? Ultimately, the fact that it was unnecessary interaction explains why this situation is tragic. All that needed to be done was to tell him to move along, not to put their hands on him for selling loose cigarettes. That still blows my mind.
Jerry! Great point! In fact, I never heard them officially say, "you're under arrest" nor did I hear them read him the Miranda Rights! It blows my mind how in one instance you have a breathing, talking, thinking human being and then in the next you have a corpse lying on the filthy sidewalk! That blows my mind and I can't forget this very easily.
The video in my original post has been "mysteriously" taken down from Youtube. Here is another........
