“Since when does putting pressure on the back of the neck restrict ones breathing?”
sine the Ribono Shel olam desined man with a narrow area though which blood vessels and the trachea travel.
“CAN ANYONE KNOW HOW HARD THE COP WAS PRESSING?”
you mean how much psi of pressure he placed? no I don’t think so.
“AND DOES A KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE NECK STOP SOMEONES BREATHING?”
Yes,
“I’m curios why its never come up with all the other stuff. ”
It has come up and it will in court.
A point you are missing is the knee placement itself wasn’t the problem. It was a valid for of restraint at the time. But , and htis is key, for a “actively resisting suspect” Once Floyd was no longer resisting keeping his knee there was assault. Once peopl called out asking if he was breathing and Chauvin made no effort to check on his victim, he displayed a blatant disregard for human life.
In my mind THAT is where the charges arise.
Not for the original knee placement which MAY (I don’t know why he chauvin dragged him out of the car, that part is still unclear) have been justifiable. What inevitably happens in these discussions is people mistakenly think once force becomes justifiable all bets are off. This is of course nonsense.
Rewatch the tape, see if Floyd is resisting , and ask yourself every minute or so, if AT THAT POINT force was justifiable.
