Asphyxiation may be caused by suffocation, smothering, strangling, choking, drowning, Injury, exposure to noxious gases (such as carbon monoxide), or such medical conditions as sleep apnea, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), or congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS).1
Within the context of addiction, we tend to associate asphyxiation with a drug overdoseor alcohol poisoning. A less common cause is the intentional self-infliction of strangulation, known as autoerotic asphyxiation.
Knowing what I know about this case- probably not.
I never got overly emotional about the knee. I never saw it as the cause of death. I donāt think I would want to dishonor my sons memory even further propagating a lie and causing the nation to burn.
You can think what you want. Iām a pretty straight shooter. Iāve gotten into fights with my wife over similar questions to this because she thinks Iām heartless at times. Sheās called me Hitler when it comes to my kids.
I believe in right over wrong. Whether that person is my blood is inconsequential.
I still love that person but I wonāt lie over them. Sorry. You do wrong you have consequences.
Actions have consequences - if my son did 4x the amount of fentanyl to kill a man and acted a fool and didnāt comply with copsā¦ Iām not going to start drama. He was wrong.
FLOYD WAS WRONG FROM BEGINNING TO END.
Now- would I be upset that the cop didnāt realize my son was unconscious and non responsive and didnāt seek medical care on time. Yes.
And I would sue him civilly for that. Different questions there.
Something tells me youād act much differently in the moment.
I believe that behavior has consequences too.
What about consequences for that cop? The guy was done resisting. For a long time. Why keep your knee on him like that? Give him a breath. Warn him. If he resists again, hold him down again.
That asshole had all his weight on him long after he stopped breathing. You say drugs killed him. But thereās plenty of proof and testimony that Chauvin is at very least a contributor to his death.
And for that behavior, there should be consequences.
How many times do I have to repeat to you that I believe manslaughter is appropriate before you believe me? Is that a punishment? Is that not a consequence?
Bikki disagrees. Heās followed the case. I have not. Maybe heās gets off. I donāt know. But initially Iāve always said manslaughter.
See, GSC, this is the more sane approach, but a second ago 51 asked if you would ask why the officer didnāt get off after he was unconscious, and you said NO.
This is directly contradicting that. If you think heās negligent, if you think he shouldāve gotten off at the point it was obvious there may have been a medical emergency, then you would be asking about.
But thanks for finally reaching intellectual honesty.
He does. Thatās why he thanked you for admitting that Chauvin was guilty.
I donāt believe that the knee to the neck or the weight or whatever you guys are saying had any effect.
I think the drugs ran their course. But at some point the officer should have recognized that. He didnāt. A man was in his care, detained, and he didnāt act to save him after he was clearly in distress.
But again Chauvin didnāt cause the distress. The fentynal did.
There is a video of Floyd in the store right before this. Heās almost in a dream world and seizing in front of the cashierā¦ high as a kite.
Ok, I get what youāre saying and thereās a logic behind it, but itās still a bit janky.
This is your statement:
The thing is, the ambulance was on the way. So Chauvin did seek medical attention. What Chauvin failed to do after floyd was unconscious was GET OFF HIS NECK. I mean, you have to get off his neck FIRST to give him any kind of medical attention, right? So youāre agreeing that Chauvin shouldāve gotten off Floydās neck and failed to, as he failed to recognize Floyd was unconscious, keeping in mind that another officer was worried for Floydās health and urged Chauvin to switch positions, keeping in mind that holding a neck restraint on an unconscious subject is against policy and training, if it was ever allowed in the first place.
So hell yeah, Chauvin shouldāve recognized that Floyd was fucking unconscious and gotten off his neck and put him in a better position to breathe, exactly as his fellow officer suggested.
