if you are sitting on a guy who says "I can't breathe" -- do you believe him???
Think...
Talking is air going out... Gotta be going in - right???
When he goes silent - THEN he isn't getting any air.
When someone says, ‘I can’t breathe’, of course they’re still breathing. However, saying that is generally indicative of a breathing problem - most people aren’t likely to say, ‘My airflow seems somewhat restricted.’
The guy with a knee on his neck complained repeatedly of breathing problems. Now he’s dead. And he died with that knee on his neck.

What does this individual incident have to do with the long term?
At best it demonstrates as with Eric Garner that cop training is "use force first".
Whites don't have to fear the same reactions in similar interactions, armed or not.
When Eric Garner said "I can't breath" and this guy said the same "I cant breath" why didn't the officers in either case adjust?
Why did the white Church shooter, and white Theater shooter make it to the back of a squad car, after committing mass murder, and two black guys, one accused of forgery and one accused of selling loose packs of cigarettes die?
