Exactly. Apartheid was instituted to keep the tribes from killing each other. It is no different than could happen in the US with Mexicans and other colored people go against whitey.

Floyd did not draw his last breath at the arrest scene. He died later at the hospital.

I haven’t seen that. Got a link?

His own car no claustrophobia. Getting into the cop car then he gets sudden onset of claustrophobia. Looks like situational claustrophobia.

Handcuff restraints are going to aggravate Claustrophobia. Not being in control of the car also is going to aggravate Claustrophobia.

Not being in control is as much a part of Claustrophobia as is confined spaces.

Yes, for a lot of people claustrophobia is situational. For a lot of people they deal with claustrophobia very well in most situations.

I can only imagine how this whole mask thing is giving a lot of claustrophobics fits. Some claustrophobics have no trouble with confined spaces but can’t handle wearing a mask.

There are numerous full accounts of the incident. Read the autopsy report too

It was a mess. The first to pull in people was the Dutch East India Company. The the real mess came when they found diamonds and gold they pumped in tons of foreigners that where mostly black. The British lost control shortly after.

The video shows the suspect wacked out of his head on drugs (or else having a psychotic episode, witness who knew him said he had “problems”) freaking out from the jump and refusing to get in the cop car cause he’s “claustrophobic” (cops say they will roll down the window for him). Cop opened the door from other side to try and help get him in and it looks like he was just about to wriggle his way out the other door when the vid ends.

He starts saying he can’t breath while they are trying to get him in the car, presumably he was hyperventilating. The cop shouldn’t have kneeled on his neck but sure seems like he gave himself the heart attack, they just wanted him to chill out.

That was primarily why the video got leaked. The left made a consistent effort to keep the evidence hidden, including gag orders from the court. Filing the transcript from the body camera two weeks ago as part of a defense motion made it part of a public record and got a bit of the truth out, the video adds to the process.

The tox report from the autopsy indicates he had 4 drugs onboard, but none at a fatal level. He also had an enlarged heart, and blockages as high as 90 percent in his coronary arteries. You could argue he was a walking medical time bomb. The drugs may have had an impact, but the primary cause is the heart attack he caused himself by getting over-excited and fighting against restraint.

There was, FWIW, no damage caused by the knee, and no evidence of choking or suffocation.

It’s in there, just happens quickly. He asks about putting him on his side, not about letting him up.

For some bizarre reason, the Daily Mail has decided to make a large issue about how the rookie cop “callously” picked a pebble out of the tire tread of the cop car. I’m at a complete loss how that means anything other as an exhibition of how desperate the reporter is to pin something on the cops.

Who is George FLoyd?”””

A lifetime criminal cops had dealt with before.

HDE is the one being uncooperative.

He cries about being claustrophobic, but he was in a rather small car when they stopped him.

He had a criminal rap sheet that showed a lifetime of bad behavior.

HIS behavior started this whole mess. No sympathy here.

I could teach a pig how to roller skate before George Floyd would behave like a decent person.
