Recently, world class idiot, Alec Baldwin, made the remark that POTUS should receive the knee on the neck, just as George Floyd did; with his windpipe closed off. Two facts:
1. George Floyd was laying on his chest. It is not possible for the knee on the back of neck to pinch the windpipe. I have demostrated this (to myself and others) more than once.
2. The investigation into George Floyd’s death has shown, drugs killed the man, not the knee on the neck.
There needs to be a massive “knee on the neck” demonstration, with dozens of people doing the procedure, at the SAME time, so the general public can see that is not even close to deadly (provided that the ‘victim’ isn’t in the process of overdosing on dangerous drugs).
I have demonstrated to family members that the knee on the neck looks bad, but only left me (age 66) with a small bruise on the side of the head and a little soreness on my left chest for a couple of days. During the process I was able to breathe with somewhat more than normal effort. After all, the knee was on the back and side of the neck, not the front. My windpipe and arteries were pretty much unaffected during the procedure.
According to records Mr Chauvin weighs about 180#. He was in a four point stance (weight distributed on two knees and two feet), which would put approximately 45# on Mr Floyd’s neck. Sure, Chauvin may have leaned harder on his left knee. Maybe he put 60 or more # on the neck. I noticed from the many pics that Mr Floyd, even while handcuffed was able get his right hand in a position to raise his right chest off the pavement somewhat. And with some twisting at the hips, the right chest area is even more relieved of pressure on the chest, and some of the twist off of the neck. (Mine has been abused, even fractured in the past).

Even people around here bought in to the lie that Foster was strangled. Good post.
