I think that's exactly the point. The constitution didn't prevent his death.
What are cops if they're not the government? Are they private corporations?

I don't understand the issue since no law can physically prevent people from breaking it.
Of course cops are the government, but they're also humans that make mistakes and commit crimes themselves. But this isn't actually related to some greater constitutional crisis or anything, unless you have some evidence that suggests they were instructed to act the way they did... but I've never seen anyone come forward with that yet.
The original argument was that the constitution protects you from government tyranny.
You have government officials tyranizing the population and now the argument is "of course it can't prevent that".
What good is it then?
