When someone says “I can’t breathe”, the proper response is not to kneel on them while they are prone. As a matter of fact, it is the worst thing you can do.
I got the feeling Chauvin enjoyed being a cop too much.
“When someone says “I can’t breathe”, the proper response is not to kneel on them while they are prone.”
1 - He was obviously saying he couldn’t breathe when he could.
2 - As the prosecution expert admitted, it IS proper to apply restraint after a person loses consciousness.
3 - You can kneel with one knee on a person and apply no pressure.
4 - They are TAUGHT to keep restraint going in situations like that.
I understand what you are saying but what I wonder is, is all we have to do is say “I can’t breathe” and then we can resist arrest?
If I had trouble breathing I’d put my hands behind my back and go quietly. Not fight.
Floyd was saying he couldn’t breath while he was in the back of the squad and even while still standing up...
You aren’t making your point very well.
