You almost never hear of a 400lb man having a heart attack.
that is pretty damning..
Seems like in a lot of these cop-induced deaths, the suspect is usually resisting arrest.
What your reaction be if you can’t breath?
Resisting arrest is not supposed to be a capital offense. Especially in the days of mace, tasers, etc.
Earlier today was the guy shot and paralyzed for unpaid parking tickets. Now selling cigarettes. vA killing people to save bonus money. The govt needs to be put back in its place.
...or adrenaline-pumped-up steroid-crazed cops ignoring a man in a choke-hold pleading that he can't breathe.
Oh, wait...
Leni
even fat people have right to breathe
I used to have the impression that resisting arrest or assault on an officer required some aggressive action on your part.
Not anymore, simply failing to respond quickly enough, mistakenly brushing the officer with your hand as you put your hands behind your back, or trying to breath will result in charges or in this case, death.
You must follow orders, that is more important and individual safety or life. /s
Oh but de Blasio is a communist, so no one is going to criticize him.
He was a BIG dude. Even skinny he’s still be hefty.
Watched the video.
All the police present at the last of his breathing, should be charged with criminal negligence. They should be stripped of their badges and all official and personal weapons of all kinds; their homes to be searched for all weapons of any kind, and removed.
The investigation should determine if any of the cops had 1st and/or 2nd degree criminal intent, and if evidence is found, so apply the charges.
They all get their day in court; and a jury decides their fate.
As the same cops would have such for any “other persons” who strangled, suppressed, and refused aid to a man whom such “other persons” held to the ground.
Cops are **not** different, **nor** special. They have lost all *benefit of the doubt* status, by their own, several and grossly negligent misdeeds over the last decade.
If the cops are found “not guilty,” then and only then, do they get to appeal for the return to their jobs ... but **never** the return of their weapons, as a reminder of their failure and the loss of life.
Sound harsh? It is nothing less, than what they impose on good citizens; and, they did kill the man.
Asthmatic, 400 pnds and having his oxygen cut off.
What could go wrong?
Seriously, what was the imperative to bring him down right there and then? (Rhet)
Yoos guyz get paid a salary and overtime. This guy wasn’t armed and you had zero interest in hearing him out.
So he has a record. He’s still a citizen and you guys, more and more, seem like thugs.
You could have talked him down and waited for cooler heads to prevail.
But, being as you’re city boyz you like to wrastle steer to the ground and get your jollies.
problem with most of you pussies is that most of us are compliant or try to make our case and you take advantage of our respect for cops and our muted response to your aggression.
For sure, if you had no badge things would go down differently.
JBT Ping?
A recent video linked here on FR showed a cop strangling a handcuffed subject to unconsciousness. Prisoner was under the control of another officer and not resisting.
Why? Part II
Because **NONE** of those cops can be trusted. They are **not** good cops.
A good cop would have called in “Fred” (or whatever the guy’s name is), whose a wise man and who would just stand there and talk with the man in question.
A good cop would have deflated an **OBVIOUSLY** deflate-able situation, because what the man in question seeked, was simply an honorable man to stand there and reason the thing, the situation.
