If you watch COPS or JAIL TV shows, this happens all the time and the procedure seems to be if the prisoner can talk he can breathe, therefore is faking.
What should the cops do?
And folks suffering a heart attack or other pulmonary event get shorter and shorter of breath until they aren't taking in enough oxygen which exacerbates the situation. There's a big difference between a full blockage and the body closing it's own passages.
well you can talk while holding your breath so that “if you can talk you can breath” that’s used is bullcrap.
Hell I can talk underwater easy, all the time. Is there too much of a “do what you have to do to go home alive” mentality in law enforcement? Because I’ll tell ya, it is a hell of a tough damn job.
