        And he's probably right. He said "can't breath" in the police car prior to the knee-on-neck, but MSM didn't show that recording.

        A knee on his neck certainly assisted in his death.

        If you're going to argue in court that people not on drugs could survive a knee to the neck for 9 minutes, it's going to be as uphill battle

        That is his defence attorney's job. Just like Better Call Saul. I doubt it will work this time.

        What do you expect him to say? That isn't what the autopsy said.

        There’s only one way to find out- put a knee to this officer’s neck for nine minutes and see how he does.

        And if he makes it through then give him drugs and try again and see if he doesn’t
