Heart attack or asphyxiation?

I also know that BELIEVE IT OR NOT,.... somehow, some way,.... this will be Trumps fault according to some. As if things like this just started happening when he became President.

Are you a doctor?

Read the report, watch the vids. Go play doctor somewhere.
By discounting others' opinions, you discount your own by your opposition.
It's a level field here for everyone to participate.

The other cops stood by and did nothing, they are accomplishes, just like the get away driver in a robbery, they didn’t commit the actual robbery but they are as guilty as those who robbed the bank.

Oh I tend to agree but they aren't going anywhere and doing a good job to make sure the charges stick is a good thing. Remember the flimsy charges on those cops in Baltimore. The whole thing was very sloppy and they all beat the charges against them. I'd prefer any charges be legit and to stick.

And....it will be the fault of all cops, if they happen to be white. Any other race= NOT theyre fault, no matter what. It will instead be the fault of all white people everywhere...Pretty good scam for the race hustlers among us when you think about it.

And this,........is why people become numb to it all after awhile.

It does but there’s two carotid arteries. I don’t see how one knee could block both of them.

But during carotid endarterectomy the operative side is purposefully and temporarily occluded to allow and incision to be made in the artery and the arterial plaque to be removed. I’ve seen it blocked off for as long as an hour without doing any damage to the patient.

It’s suboptimal, but the brain can get adequate perfusion from one carotid artery. I can see Floyd having something like a stroke after what happened to him but I don’t understand how it could have killed him—from that.

Btw, Bartender loves it when I talk medical stuff lol.

Our resident retired nurse made a good point being face down and pressure on him could keep his lungs from supplying enough oxygen.

People are arrested on flimsy chargers all time, the chargers are investigated, but the people are still arrested.

The report (thus far anyway) showed no signs of forceful pressure to the neck area.

I doubt it would. It doesn't take a lot of force to occlude a carotid. Most autopsies don't dissect the neck anyway.

Better that he was on his stomach.
There is more lung tissue on the back and sides of our bodies. He was a heavy man.
It would be harder to breathe with the weight of his midsection pressing down on him.

I did used to date a nurse though. Lemme tell ya,...the intensive physical therapy she gave me was out of this world!

Now why would that be an awful post Phantas? She was a real pro,...great at her job.

I prefer to arrest people for crimes they are guilty of not crimes I would like them to be guilty of. Those guys aren't going anywhere. Take your time and do it right and don't set the city up for huge law suits by doing knee jerk arresting and getting something wrong.

You mean like the way every bad thing that happened between Inauguration Day 2009 and Inauguration Day 2017 became Obama's fault "according to some"?

Quit whining and suck it up, snowflake.

He wouldn't be able to talk if he had no air in his lungs.

Yes, that would be ideal, but that’s not how it works. They even get it wrong after an investigation. There are innocent people serving time for crimes they haven’t committed.
