I know I'm late, there is also a follow up to this (if someone else hasn't already posted it).They're cherry picking studies to discredit.
Doctor: 'These studies are irrelevant because they use weightplates instead of a knee'
There are studies that have specifically looked at handcuffed prone restraint with knee on back and knee on neck.
Results: A double-knee technique applies more weight force than single-knee techniques. The Wisconsin single-knee technique provides the least weight force of single-knee techniques. Law enforcement officer body weight is irrelevant to prone-force weight with single-knee techniques. With double-knee restraint, it has a modest influence. Our data do not support the hypothesis of restraint asphyxia.

Should I be archiving SciHub stuff, is it even possible?
The lingering slow death of the prone-restraint theory is somewhat prolonged by an unspoken—and — unsupported—hypothesis: that an ARD must be caused by officers' mistakes because the subjects are presumed clinically normal. Williams' found that 55% of US nonfirearm ARD subjects had (largely subclinical) heart disease at autopsy. The dom- inating reality is that healthy and sober members of society do not tend to be involved in forceful arrests. In US studies, 79% of force recipients have a history of mental illness or substance abuse, 66% have a documented history of mental illness, and 71% have drugs in their urine.' A large Canadian forceful- arrest study found that 82% of the subjects were being affected by alcohol, drugs, or emotional disturbance.” Alcohol and drug intoxication have obvious risks for sudden death, but the risks of emotional disturbance are often overlooked. In an autopsy study of 110 sudden deaths, after extreme physical or psychological stress, Krexi et al'* found that only 11 members (10%) of the cohort had any law enforcement contact.
Additionally, other plausible mechanisms of ARDs are often not revealed until significant litigation finances expensive genetic testing sometimes referred to as a “molecular autopsy” in the case of an otherwise negative autopsy.'
The nonfirearm ARD rate (with use of force) is about 1/1000, which is remarkably low considering the comorbidities found in approximately 90% of subjects.!” This fatality rate is comparable with that of general anesthesia. The authors agree that there are more variables than we are able to accurately study in nonfirearm ARD and suggest that consideration of the acute and chronic behavior and choices of the decedent in these scenarios may play a role and thus require further study and potential scrutiny.
