He wasn’t suffocated. Read the final autopsy. A heart attack killed him.
No proof a heart attack killed him. There was no clot in one of his obstructed coronary arteries indicating an acute MI Even if it did the cop knelt on his neck 5 minutes after he was unresponsive without checking his condition. Why do so many people want to defend the indefensible?
I would guess if you check the MPD take down procedures, there is mention of, 'make sure not to place knee on windpipe,' which in this case, was followed.
