overdose is:
take the drug. go into a high instantly and slip into a coma.
yep thats how it works
its not
take a drug. and decide to go to a store and buy cigarettes and then walk to a car and sit in drivers seat
listen to some music while chatting to passengers, interact with cops, get out a car on his own feet and walk to the side walk. talked to the officers clearly and plead to not go into the back of the police car.
he was alert and pleading.. meaning it was not a drug induced overdose
https://youtu.be/VDd5GlrgvsE?t=162as you can see.. clearly standing walking and talking. ..
...some people want to also argue that the claustrophobia thing is not real.
actually being in a front seat of your own car where you know you can open a door and be incontrol and you can see clearly out of the windscreen.. this is not the same as being handcuffed in a backseat where you cant open the back door and the windows are shut and tinted to not see clearly
and where the leg room of the back seat is restricted and a PVC+metal panel dividing the back/front means it can feel more like a prison/cage..(as police backseats are designed to feel like on purpose)
however the claustrophobia did not cause the death. it caused the need to remove him from the car.
being put onto the road should be to have a few seconds for the THREE officers to reposition themselves and at most put leg shackles on. maybe 30 seconds..
a knee in the back should not be something done for 9 minutes while cops just sit and do nothing.
a knee in the neck should not be something done for any minute while cops just sit and do nothing.
but lets say there was some vaguely stupid reason to knee the neck of someone for more then 30 seconds
a knee in the neck should not be continued when the person has gone silent
a knee in the neck should not be continued when someone is known to be unconscious
a knee in the neck should not be continued when an ambulance has been called
a knee in the neck should not be continued when the ambulance arrives
a knee in the neck should not be continued when the paramedic got out and was standing by the person
choking someone out for 9 minutes. is not police policy
choking someone out and continuing to choke out and not do anything to aid recovery. is not police policy
even chauvins boss and colleagues and specialist in police training are all saying what chauvin done is not policy
so accept it chauvin broke the law in a manner that caused someones death
accept the verdict is in.
accept that chauvin is guilty
