I'm just curious, how do you say you can't breathe (over and over and over and over again) if your airway is actually being obstructed?
Somehow, he's dead now. And you're "just curious."
“This blue line crap needs to stop. To me, it looks more like a gang symbol. They took our beautiful flag, and changed the colors to black and gray with an ugly blue line. They are flat out telling us, they are not respecting us, but their own. Wake up people.“
This, a thousand times this ^^^^^^^
If you watch the video you can see the restrained man become non-responsive. It is obvious when they place him on the gurney he is already unconscious or dead. I trust that would equate with your bucket of water.
Did you defend the saracen that murdered the Australian woman?
The article says he was killed for forgery.
Just damn.
I think that’s called depraved humor.
Anybody defended the cop’s actions yet?
Yep. More "small government conservatives" cheering on the government henchmen.
If you watch the video you can hear how ragged his breathing is.

Minneapolis, Minnesota Police Officer Tou Thao Stood Watch in Viral Video
I hope with all this latest lockdown nonsense, everyone will start to understand how corrupt our cops have become. Also, this is an issue that both R’s and D’s can get behind, so maybe we can start off demanding they honor their oath.
“...by changing directly to correctly...”
Exactly...caught it a couple secs too late. Old, blind and cursed with sausage fingers is no way for me to go thru life.
Sigh...
The very latest.
Amid anger and grief, community members gather at south Minneapolis storefront
In my FD experience, anyone who can repeatedly shout “I can’t breathe” is moving sufficient air IF he would stop hyperventilating and calm down...Illegal drugs on board?
Excited or agitated delirium? Not diagnosis, just a question...

Wait for toxicology...
Knee pressure on the carotid artery or area is potentially life threatening, and a form of “restraint” that should be banned, just as most if not all PDs have done with the choke or “sleeper” hold...”Choking ‘em out” is not supposed to be permitted anymore...
As details become available, we may learn the rest of the story...
I sure hope so.
The need for law enforcement is but a necessary evil. That is why it is paramount that law enforcement officers be of the highest moral character. They have the ability to take freedom from someone, which cannot be taken lightly.
There are more police positions in this country than there are moral men. The police force needs to be cut to the bone and only moral men/women should be allowed to participate.
No. That cop was part of an EO initiative. NEVER should have been part of any police force.
Are you equating a woman walking toward a car with a man resisting arrest?
What was the official cause of death? WAS it asphyxiation? WHEN did death occur?
BTW:
What Happens When The Carotid Artery Is 100% Blocked?
You’d think that a 100% blocked carotid artery is equals to death. And though it’s a pretty bad scenario, it’s not the end. People also live with completely blocked carotid arteries. This is because if one artery is blocked, the three other arteries that provide the brain with blood still do their job.
Basically, the body has the mechanism of re-routing blood. This is why some people have a fully blocked carotid artery and yet they don’t have any symptoms. When an artery is 100% blocked, surgery is avoided because of the risks of stroke and death. Doctors prescribe meds and keep a close eye on other arteries to ensure that their health is not compromised.
‘This is the right call’: Officers involved in fatal Minneapolis incident fired, mayor says
This cop was GD incompetent and so were his idiot buddies (who should all be fired) standing around with their thumbs up their asses while this happened.
Incidents like this get lumped in with acts of legitimate self-defense by officers and make things worse for everyone.
Idiots will see this and be more likely to resist if they think they’re gonna get killed anyway.
Exactly! This will only increase incidences of resisting arrest.
And this idiot cop and his cohorts will get off with their pensions intact. Which is really the only thing that matters to them.
Four officers fired as FBI, BCA investigating in-custody death of man in south Minneapolis
You do not kneel on a person’s neck - unless you want to kill them. Four of these goon cops have been fired already. I hope you are not a member of law enforcement.
