The people around thought he couldn’t breathe, and he was saying he couldn’t breathe. I don’t want the police to be able to do that.

"I can't breath" is also a lawsuit strategy used every day by dozens of inmates and arrested persons.

If Floyd had said: "I just swallowed a lethal dose of fentanyl, and I can't breath," the Police response would have been much different.

I forgot to mention...

The first officer on the scene is tape recorded asking Floyd if he has taken any drugs.

Floyd is on tape saying "No."

**************

In this case with Floyd if he hadn’t resisted the police then
he’d most likely still be alive and in prison somewhere. But
he resisted and was held down in an acceptable police hold.
It was a tragic situation but Floyd wasn’t a law abiding human
either or so his passed has shown. Sometimes you get more than
you ask for.

Has the neck restraint hold been banned by the law enforcement
agencies at this time? I don’t know if their procedures have changed.

“he was saying he couldn’t breathe”

Now all of the masked zombies are saying it.
