So police assault, whether it leads to choking and death or not, is really not a justified or necessary response to the high crime of selling Loosies. There is such a thing as a written citation followed up with a warrant if there really is need to press charges for the selling of single cigarettes. (Hell cops can just as well confiscate the cigs, issue a verbal warning, and leave it at that.) Enforcing against broken windows is not the same thing as policing the failure of free people to weatherstrip their communities and their lives. Where are the "Libertarians" on this obscene and lethal abuse of power and invasion of personal liberty - let alone "right to life"?
