Maybe, but the defendant kept grinding his knee into the guys neck for several minutes after he had passed out so that kind of blows the active threat theory and as cops themselves will tell you once the cuffs go on the struggle is over.
Also it turns out that the defendant knew his victim from working at the same night club and that they had "a history". Now there's talk about upgrading the charges again to 1st degree murder so maybe there is another aspect to this case to consider here.
But I was talking about the incident in Buffalo with the two cops in riot gear that pushed an old man down while clearing a street.
