so.. as a law enforcement officer you can just sit and watch someone die because you don't like their ___________
You could, up until we decided to conjure up a law judicially that never existed legislatively. Anyone could just sit and watch.
Some states have good samaritan laws on the books, others don't. Minnesota doesn't and didn't. But that doesn't stop creative prosecutors from making shit up
If you think every state should give you the seinfeld finale treatment, petition your legislators to create such laws

or you can accelerate it with your knee I guess and all ok with you why? because he used drugs, and was black.
and in cuffs so he offered ZERO threat. Or was he going to attack cops and do damage while having a cardiac event. Been over this before, its really hard to be having a heart attack AND attacking/threating 3 cops at the same time.
They spent 10 minutes trying to get him into a vehicle while he resisted while acting erratically. They gave him every chance to comply, then within a minute of him entering clear medical distress, they had EMTs en route and upgraded to an emergency call. He was restrained because he had already been resisting them while obviously on drugs. He was dying of heart failure because he had been resisting them while on drugs. Of all the extraordinarily severe heart disease, the fact his coronary artery was 90% blocked was enough he could have dropped dead any time walking down the street let alone exerting himself. 30% is mild heart disease, 50% is moderate and needs treatment, 70-75% is severe and needs surgery. 90% is basically playing russian roulette every day. You can be a 17 year old kid who appears completely healthy, doing sports, living a normal life, oops you had 90% blocked artery and died of a heart attack while driving;
