That didn’t negate anything I said.
That’s a good article. I forgot to mention the fact that Floyd was saying “I can’t breathe” when he was standing next to the police car. He couldn’t breathe before anybody restrained him on the ground or put a knee on his neck. The autopsy shows no injuries to his neck, superficial or deep. Whatever caused his breathing problem, it wasn’t the knee on the neck. It didn’t help his medical condition to be arrested but he resisted and that caused the “subdual restraint.” It’s interesting that doctors now recognize that for COVID patients, a prone position HELPS them to breathe more easily. So there’s another argument against restraint being THE cause of death. Did it contribute? Probably at least somewhat, but enough, given all the other circumstances, to send a man to prison for 40 years or life or worse? This is what a jury will have to decide. If the officers disobeyed some policy, they’ve already been punished for that by being fired without due process. Same for the officers in Georgia. Punish first; investigate later. This is supposed to be America, where our constitution protects due process and the assumption of innocence until proved guilty.
