Rational and proud of it.
Ok, then can you explain how it was that while being choked Eric Garner could breathe but died of suffocation anyway?
He could talk.
Avoiding the question?
He could talk, therefore he could breathe but died of unrelated asphyxiation. That's your answer?
I answered it. You don't have to like it or agree for it to be a valid answer. What you dickheads need to learn is that getting the answer you want doens't make it incorrect. All he had to do was stop resisting. When he fought back more, the police fought at an equal level to his resistance. What should they have done, let him go because he didn't want to be arrested? Garner initiated the entire thing. If he doesn't commit a crime FIRST, nothing that happens second, third, and so on occurs. All people like you see is black thug and white officer. What occurred that led up to it doens't matter to you.
I don't know what the police officer should've done, as I have no experience arresting people, especially people who are resisting arrest. Perhaps the officer reacted in the best way he knew how at that time.
Nice try at changing the subject...
But this thread was about Eric Garner faking that he couldn't breathe because he was able to say that he couldn't breathe. You say he could breathe because he was able to speak. I am curious as to how he could breathe but died of suffocation. Your answer was: "He could talk".
So either your answer is unrelated to my question, or you realize that your premise is flawed and are unwilling or ashamed to acknowledge it.
I didn't change it just showed how the end as it currently exist wouldn't have had a chance to be that way if Garner's actions hadn't taken place FIRST.
My premise is if you can talk you can breath. My medical training, something apparently you don't have, treats people differently if their airway is obstructed vs. not being obstructed. If someone has a full airway obstruction, I take a different action than if it's partially or not obstructed at all. I don't do the abdominal thrusts on someone that isn't choking and one of the best ways to make that determination is if they can talk and/or are making sounds.
I went through combat first aid in the USMC, CPR certification and Wilderness First Responder training as a climbing guide. But that is irrelevant because I already knew that when a person can't breathe they suffocate, and without treatment or relief the result is death.
According to your "medical training", a person who says they can't breathe is breathing, and if they subsequently die, it must be something unrelated to suffocation.
So when the NY City medical care examiner determined that Eric Garner's cause of death was suffocation, your superior "medical training" informs you that he must be wrong because Eric Garner could speak and therefore breathe.
So how did Eric Garner die, according to your "medical training"?
