I've been in martial arts for over 30 years
and a fan of MMA for nearly 20 years and
I have never seen a effective chokehold
technique taught like the position the
officer was assuming in the pictures.
I wondered all along if it was
a strangulation.
And no, this is not an effort to excuse the cop or blame the victim;
it's not a value judgement or an assessment of any fact
other than this singular act/instance.
The family sought to seek justice with a correct autopsy report.
It said the same thing...
It was his heart.
I don't understand why you're so hang up on it. What are you trying to get at?I keep asking peeps who are certain just from watching the tape that the knee definitely killed Floyd, how much pressure do they estimate was that knee applying to George's neck throughout the entire almost 9 minutes.
Everyones an expert at determining the cause of death just from watching a cell phone video and no one has the slightest idea why pressure would have anything to do with it.
You just cant make that depth of stupidity up.
So what do you think cinnefille? Youve already convicted by cell phone video. How much pressure was that knee applying to George?
If you let every perp off because he/she can't breath, the cuffs hurt,
the cops are being racist, then nobody would ever be arrested...
Jesus.
No amount of rationalization will convince me that what I saw on TV,
were three good cops doing their job like they were supposed to.

The other one, not the 'establishing the real cause of death'.
That the public's outrage and the popular uprising might have been an overreaction?
I don't think so.
From where I'm sitting, the true cause of his death (traumatic asphyxiation or not) isn't even That important.
Three police officers treating an unarmed civilian like an animal, refusing to attend to his obvious distress. And only minutes later, the civilian became unconscious or succumbed to some sort of coma and later died.
Of course not;
if you saw it on TV, it's true.
There's no need for an investigation...
A trial? Complete waste of time and money,
we just need to get a rope, find a tree and dispense justice,
because, as we have repeatedly learned in high profile cases such as this,
first facts are always the best facts, we saw it on TV, we've heard about the systemic
wholesaling of the systemic racism of this nation and we truly believe that story and it's not going to change...
ever.

That's exactly what be said. You dont read well, do you?
What seems to get lost in the narrative is that he resisted the cops on two, maybe three, different occasions before they restrained him as they did.
Oh, and the knee had no direct impact on his death.

Minorities ARE NOT targeted. Criminals are targeted. Don't want to be targeted by the police? Don't engage in criminal activity. It's just that simple.
