... What most people don’t know is that the most common statement/phrase uttered by perps that are being restrained is “I can’t breath.” So when Eric Garner uttered those same words .... it was just another day at the office when the perp complained. It just isn’t that unusual.

Exactly, and I don't doubt for a minute that due to his size and ailments he was extremely uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable is very predictable if one resists being arrested, so one would think he'd go out of his way to be cooperative. After 31 times, you'd think he'd get the routine memorized. And yes, I recall arrestees who complained they couldn't breathe the minute cuffs were started to be applied, even while standing, not an uncommon utterance.

That would be much more effective in making us dismiss his whining...... if he wasn't dead.
