I just watched the body cam footage from all the officers. They were polite and professional during the contact. Many, many times they told McClain "it's not a big deal", "just relax", "calm down" and other things trying to talk him down. McClain refused to follow directions from the moment the officers contacted him. He fought before and after he was restrained. His death was brought on by his actions and maybe the ketamine. The autopsy report says the level of ketamine in his system was "therapeutic". The report says it can't be determined if the carotid hold contributed to his death. It does say his physical exertion "most likely" contributed to his death.

Stop. Resisting. Police.

Fight them in court if you wanna fight.
