There wasIf you know so much you should know you do not have to constrict the windpipe to suffocate a person.you can clearly see the second cop pressing on Floyd's ribs and we can't see the 3rd cop at all but the reports say that all 3 were restraining him not just one.
Why don't you see how long you can breathe with 3 men holding you down like that.
When I was taking MMA classes I learned real fast how hard it is to breathe when prone on the mat with the weight of just one guy on my back
I'm a combat Vet and GoJuKai blackbelt...I don't need advice on how this works....I've silenced a couple sentries and a stray from an NVA combat unit with choke-holds to avoid noise. I twist the neck until it snaps if required. If you'll notice, I don't like the looks of the pic I found but it's not a constricted windpipe...it's pressure on the carotid artery stopping blood flow to that side of the brain.
All it takes is sufficient weight on the chest either from the front or on the back of a prone person. As a matter of fact it was one of the way that freaks in Salem used to kill people accused of being witches. They would stack rocks on a board placed across the "witch's torso until the weight was so great she could not draw breath.
And in 1828 another infamous duo of murderers, Burke and Hare, killed 16 people in Ireland by sitting on their chests and blocking the nose and mouth, they did this because it left little to no damage to the bodies which they would later sell to Robert Knox who would perform dissections of the bodies.
There were 2 other cops on Floyd's back which is more than enough weight to restrict his ability to breathe.
So it seems you might not be as knowledgeable as you think you are when it comes to methods of asphyxiation or suffocation
all true----but there would ---MOST LIKELY ---be histological evidence on autopsy
Independent autopsy finds George Floyd died of homicide by asphyxia
An independent autopsy ordered by George Floyd's family found his death was a "homicide caused by asphyxia due to neck and back compression."
