If he’s talking, he’s breathing.
That being said, looks like the cop was kneeling correctly on the carotid area of the guy’s neck. If it’s determined the cop caused the guy’s death, cop should go to jail for murder, the other officers as accomplices.
...correctly should be directly...
“looks like the cop was kneeling correctly on the carotid area of the guy’s neck.”

One of those pressure points that you don’t want to pressure very long. He was on the guy’s neck - for what? - 6 or 7 minutes at least.
I hope my good buddy Otto Kor Wrecked 'helped' you by changing directly to correctly...
Is your post serious? MURDER???! Are you saying these officers intentionally acted to kill this man? Isn’t INTENT part of proving murder?
When has it become okay with so many on this forum to IGNORE police direction and resist arrest. I guess the same folks calling this “murder’ love all the videos of cops having water dumped on them by the bucketful.
If his Carotid artery was blocked he would have passed out because of a lack of flow to the brain.
Yep. This so reminds me of the Eric Garner incident. Despite the facts, there are still FReepers who believe Garner was choked to death.
Despite the autopsy. Despite the Coroners Report.
Several times the cops response to subjects plea was to shift his weight forward to stop speech. The can’t breath/can’t speak standard works with belly chains, not pressure on the airway. It is possible to speak with your last breath. He should have moved his knee to subjects shoulder blade and checked to see if resistance had ceased. A cop who takes resistance or even assault personally shouldn’t be a cop.
This was at least depraved indifference, if not intentional murder.
