Imagine on your death certificate.
Cause of Death.: Mortally wounded by a knee.

Why, because it is an effective way to restrain a combative individual.
As for yelling "I can't breathe" that has become the standard MO for black people who are being detained or arrested. It happens on On Patrol Live all the time, and you can see it on the body cam footage that is publicly released on a regular basis.

But if you are in the process of overdosing on drugs to death it could be a cry for help, just poorly worded.Kenneth_2003 said:

If you can cry, "I can't breathe!" Newsflash! YOU CAN BREATHE!
I love when people have no clue what they're talking about and have never had to make split second life and death decisions make comments like this. It's people like this that make being an officer so much more difficult than it needs to be.ABATTBQ11 said:

Every cop has seen the Floyd vid. Every cop knows phone cams are ubiquitous.
Putting your knee anywhere near the neck area of a black man to subdue him on the ground while he cries "I can't breathe" is begging for pound me in the rear prison. If that happens in Keith Ellisons neck of the woods, you're toast. It's not smart no matter how you cut it.

This. Knee was NOT on his neck.

Yeah. Takedown was clean. What happened afterwards is problematical.Quote:
