But when the responsible party (the police) are needing to exercise good judgement they should have enough 'smarts' to know when a person like this says he cannot breath, they should give that complaint due consideration or be ready to suffer the consequences.

From the video please describe what you think was the lack of consideration during the time that he was saying that he couldn't breathe.

Well, I can't see the video in isolation and fail to consider what 9 previous arrests must have generate in terms of this man's past medical conditions. But , just from the video I see a very large man (with accompanying medical liabilities often associated with morbid obesity). I see severe grown men pressing on his anterior abdominal wall as well as his chest. I see very little resistance from the arrestee. I see the forearm of the officer pressing in on the anterior neck, fair deeply sunk in. I see and hear a terrified person on the ground begin to be let up because he cannot breath.

The lack of consideration may have been born from ignorance of the officers with reference to his concurrent medical conditions which I tried to enumerate in my previous post. I don't expect them to have the clinical acumen of a physician, but they are not at all tune into the complaint that the man said he could not breath. That is dangerous in any setting.

I don't know if that answers your question. I hope it does.
