But since he was already saying ‘I can’t breathe’ while still sitting in his car, and fought with the officers while they were trying to get him in the police car, which is why he ended up on the ground anyway, how much credence can you give his “I can’t breathe’ later?
GF was infected with covid-19, which attacks lungs first. So breathing problem is not unusual.
Again if the cop was alone, one on one with a resisting suspect, I can’t blame the cop keeping knee down for several minutes.
But with 3 strong cops surrounding the suspect on ground, and one of the cops even said to let him breathe, I am in the camp the kneeling cop was not using common sense.
