When this unfortunate individual was allegedly suffocated by the police he was apparently high on meth, apparently used stolen money and had definitely had several previous stints in prison.
Relevant points in bold. The rest is akin to telling a rape victim she shouldn't have worn a short skirt.

This was a cowardly murder. The victim's past drug use or prior trouble with the law is irrelevant to this case. His murderer knelt on his neck for NINE MINUTES.
