My guess (to be determined by the autopsy) is that the one cop had his knee on his neck and the other was kneeling on his chest, thus compressing his lungs. I think they both should be charged with murder! The other two cops are accessories.

I hope the charge is whatever makes that most likely. Whatever charge fits the case that can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
