I'll push back on the breathing thing. There was a fat black man that died at the hands of police after selling cigarettes in the street or something. I don't know the full story... But what I do remember is that him saying he couldn't breathe didn't mean "I can't breathe at all" and really meant "I can't breathe enough".
He wasn't able to take in a full breath but he could get just enough, for a little while, to repeat his plea until he died.
that is exactly what we thought from the very beginning. that is why it upset us to hear Hannity and Bongino saying what they were.
this is a common police tactic. you can find 10000000s of videos online where this technique is used.
for someone that "couldn't breathe", Floyd never shut the hell up. he had 11 ng/mL of Fentanyl in his system. 9 ng/mL is deadly.

He was resisting arrest at the time.
Eric Garner weighed 395lbs. He could have died the next time he took the stairs.
I did say he was fat. 😘
I'm just countering the notion that verbalization means taking full breaths.
