If You Were Choking A Person And They Said "I Can't Breath", What Would You Do? (illegal, drugs)

Assuming:

- The person has no weapons.

- Five or six of you friends are with you.

I'd say, if you can speak, then you can breath.

Also, those who know these things say he wasn't being choked -- only restrained. He died because of a medical condition -- yes,aggravated by the assault.

Since the 5 or 6 friends could become witnesses I would stop choking.

The question is what would you DO not what would you SAY.

Haha, remind me to stay the hell away from you and your friends...

Choking would prevent repeatedly saying, 'I can't breathe'.

Thus the 'tap out'.

Would friends let a drunk drive.. you bet!

Would friends stop a guy from using illegal drugs? Nope!

Would being arrested 30 times serve as a deterent to a thirty first arrest? Nah!

Every year hunters with cardiac disease die in the woods because they engaged in an activity with a pre-existing medical condition that put them in danger.

As a former cop I'd ease the pressure somewhat but not let go entirely until he was totally restrained/handcuffed.

The officer did not administer a carotid choke hold which is what it seems most assume. That was clear from the video.

This. I would know they could breathe. But I might not realize they were simultaneously dying of multiple underlying medical conditions.

It depends on what my objective was. If I wanted to choke the man to death I would be satisfied I was accomplishing my goals. If I were trying to restrain the man I would let up on the hold.

No, you're making a judgment about the cops actions based on FALSE reporting. I will call you on your errors.
