Experts testified anybody else subjected to that treatment would have died. With or without drugs in their system.What I mean BULLDOG" I can't breath" sounds pretty clear to me.He acted as most anyone would in that situation. Once you are affected by a mix of drugs or medication, and don't have full capacity to communicate clearly, anything can go wrong and it did.Yes, I'll say it. Mr. Floyd felt entitled to act like a complete Ass. Most folks would have complied instead of shouting 'don't shoot me' while NOT complying with officers' asking him to put his fucking hands on the steering wheel!! Who the FUCK did he think he was? He was being arrested for committing a FELONY!!! Then he complained about not being able to breathe and that he had claustrophobia. He thrashed about in the patrol car so they had to ask him to get out which, of course, he refused to do even after saying he did not want to be there. This is all available in many videos. Floyd obviously felt more entitled than anyone else to be able to commit a felony and defy law enforcement. That did not go well for him as it shouldn't really.
He just wanted to be freed from that escalated stronghold.
Anyone would say whatever it took, but unfortunately in his incapacitated state,
he couldn't clarify what was going on.
The best way to prevent this was earlier on,
way before it devolved into a deadly crisis.
is when he was asked repeatedly if he
had taken anything like drugs, he couldn't or didn't answer. Whether this was due to physical or legal dynamics, he wasn't able to clarify. So they could not communicate to resolve the situation and it escalated.
"subjected to that treatment....."? Floyd was not
SUBJECTED------he participated in a struggle against legal authority The crowd of snickering idiots participated too. When cops are arresting a criminal----the correct response from the idiots in the peanut gallery is "GIVE UP, MAN" What would you have done-----get the cuffs off and hand him a gun? "Resolve the issue"? that happens in court----not the
gutter.
