I mean, regardless of what drugs you've taken, a grown man kneeling on your neck for 8 minutes and taking no action while you repeatedly indicate that you can't breathe isn't acceptable. Careful what hills you choose to die on. Floyd being high as a kite and having been the recipient of police brutality are not mutually exclusive.
That's because nothing outside the video is relevant, dude. We have eight minutes of non-stop footage from multiple angles of cops kneeling on a dude who is telling them he can't breather, up to and beyond the point that he passes out.
That is not acceptable under any circumstances to any person, ever. This wasn't a split-second shooting. This guy wasn't uncuffed and fighting. He wasn't armed.
They fucking sat on his chest and neck until he passed out.
I know, it doesn't matter that he was talking about how he couldn't breathe when they put him in the car. Who even cares how much fentanyl he had in him. It's not like he could have taken a deadly dose when he realized he was being pulled over. Let's just put the police in prison, those people don't keep our civilization from devolving into misery at all.
if you are able to speak then you are able to breathe.
This is lethally untrue, no matter how many times people say it. You can still squeeze out reserve air from your lungs without being able to inhale it back in.
Think of it this way. If a balloon is almost out of air and you restrict the opening, you can still squeeze the balloon and make air come out, but you can't reinflate it unless you blow air in from the outside.
That's how your lungs work.
If someone tells you they can't breathe, don't fucking argue with them about it.

Only a few times, and not for the several minutes Floyd was doing it. It could be hard for him to breathe due to pressure on his back (though one video doesn't seem to show anyone on his back, but on his elbow and legs).
Opiates in your system can make it feel like you can't breathe either. If someone has never had morphine before (The law abiding patient with a broken femur for instance) I make sure to explain to them what the medication will feel like - and that it is their choice to take or not take. Even still, many people panic and say they hated it because it felt like they couldn't breathe and were dying.

Wrong. Cops shouldn't listen to the ramblings and bitching of drug addicts. If Floyd didn't want to be restrained, he should have got in the cop car.

Add fentanyl and meth.
I didn’t say that.
Few people care about reality, they saw a video and think they know everything already.
No no he's a terrible murderer. He held a guy down with his knee, it made him die from something that science cannot imagine.

This requires a source.
The media is covering the narrative. Crazy how every video is clipped right before we know what the hell happens
Here's the chinese food restaurant video: https://youtu.be/kiSm0Nuqomg
--1--, thanks for the source.
I can't believe pedes downvote me for asking for a source. Fuck y'all.
if you are able to speak then you are able to breathe.
but I don't think this type of restraint should be used for people who are not being violent, much less already in cuffs.

They do, and they are.
He said he couldn't breathe while he was still standing.

This is you
A 6' 6" violent felon on drugs needs to be restrained, buddy. If he got in the car he would not have been restrained.
