    "a killing caused by dangerous conduct and the offender's obvious lack of concern for human life."

    Manslaughter at the very least.

    99 times out of 100 I side with the police. Their jobs are dangerous, and most of the time the people did something wrong. While I on't quite know why the guy was put in a choke hold, it certainly seemed unnecessary

    A choke hold puts a person to sleep in a matter of seconds, this guy was not out. I think they should have let up too in this case....but on the flip side, how often do they have people BSing them as they are trying to arrest them?

    To display "lack of concern for human life" you have to establish that the guy did something that he could have reasonalbly expected to end a person's life. For example, if I go outside and start firing off random gun shots and it hits someone.

    Not stopping when the guy couldn't breathe? Seems not concerned to me.
