From what I can remember the restraining by the neck is a bit too common. As in, it's not a smart thing to use, but it is something that is being used. If this were the only case when this technique was applied, then maybe we would have had a different discussion.
But yeah, the evidence points against actual intent to murder. And even in the video, to me it doesn't look as if he was applying full force to try to kill someone. I honestly don't get what mindset people have that they come up with such conclusions.
As for, was it his fault: if we're talking about manslaughter, yup. Not arguing against that. What I'm arguing against is the narrative that the cop intentionally tried to murder someone because of "muh racism".

I'm a bit unclear how much he played by the rules. I've heard reports that restraining by the neck wasn't a standard procedure in their precinct. So that's gonna be a big problem if true.
From what I've seen, there's already a good amount of footage of the victim resisting and escalating things. Not sure how much more we could get from body cameras, since those are gonna be a lot more shaky than 3rd party footage. And besides, we're not the ones that should be given access to these things. It's not the mob that should provide justice in the first place.
