This OAN video shows:
1. He was saying “I can’t breathe” when he refused to get into the squad car and that was long before he got the knee on the neck.
2. He was able to talk while he had the knee on the neck which indicates he did not have “total tracheal occlusion.”
But, as you say, the truth will do little to change public opinion.
he was saying he couldn’t breath while he was still in his own car- and before he was even handcuffed- before they walked him over to the cop car- he continued saying ‘I can’t breath’ for 6 minutes- clearly and distinctly- people that are being strangled can’t speak clearly and distinctly, and they can’t breath like George can be seen doing for over 6 minutes on the video- George was not i na stranglehold- nor was there enough pressure on his neck to cut off his airway- if there was- you would not have heard him speaking clearly and distinctly for 0ver 6 minutes- George was almost certainly dying of either excited delirium or drug overdose- or a combination of the two- the video shows that he did not die of strangulation- no matter how bad the video may appear-
Someone pointed out that you can’t determine how much pressure was applied to the neck by the knee- but i think you can- Just like you point out,. you can clearly hear George speaking and breathing fine for 6 minutes- giving a very strong indication that not enough pressure was applied to cut off the airway- He was breathing fine right up to the point he passed out- which indicates he passed out form something else- not airway obstruction-
