11. The wiggle room

would be whether one or more officers had to call for backup because he was resisting arrest. How long was this situation going on? Did he resist arrest for several minutes before this video started? The video we see, now, shows that the police officers took no time at all to reason with Mr. Garner. If it went down like that with no "prologue," then this video shows very bad police work, at the very least.
