I get negrated because A&H is full of /pol/fags who hate everyone but themselves. Defending Chauvin's actions by saying 'Floyd would have died from the overdose' doesn't excuse his actions being wrong - just that they may not have killed Floyd. For the record, I think Chauvin didn't intend to kill him - but he certainly acted negligently enough to ensure that Floyd died.
There was no bruising of any of the skin layers or the neck muscles, you can't apply pressure that can kill for 10 minutes and leave no bruising.
I'm sorry. Nothing personal against you or what you said, I am overall numb of the whole case.
I can think of a few reasons that sit on top of my head why you got negrated.
You... can though. Essentially if you apply enough pressure to restrict the arteries bringing blood into the brain, you can cause someone with a heart condition to enter cardiac arrest. The brain thinks it's not getting enough blood, which causes the heart to pump faster, which then fails from the sheer demands the brain is placing on it, even if it isn't needed. This is why you can kill someone by firing a gun next to them, or through jumping around a corner and shouting 'ooga booga booga' at them. For that matter, from the way Floyd was on the ground, he'd be having some trouble breathing - he's not a small man, and behind the back restraints do constrict the airway a bit. If he's already experiencing panic, the effect of drugs, etc. etc. the action of the officer restraining him like that could easily kill him.
It can also kill you by causing a heart attack. Or through asphyxiation. Blood being cut off to the brain will kill you.
It depends on how often he used, the purity, and on his body size - and random chance to a degree. Your body does build up a resistance to drugs, which is part of the reason opioid overdoses happen frequently - users need more and more drugs to get the same high, and eventually they press their body too far as it's building up a resistance.
If you apply pressure directly to the arteries for 12 seconds you can kill someone (you will still likely leave bruises), you can't restrict blood flow with a knee on the back half of the neck using so little pressure the subject can freely move his head around, and you don't leave bruises.
Other folks addressed why the situation played out the way it did, watch the bodycams in full instead of the media cuts. And this wasn't a neck hold, the fact you leverage your whole paragraph on that incorrect assumption is why people are disagreeing with you.
There are buffoons who unironically believe this
Yes, after about 30 mins to an hour. In BJJ, blood chokes are purposely smiled upon to be applied full force at all age ranges because even resisting the urge to tap out, it isn't going to kill you for a while after you would pass out. A throat/airway choke on the other hand, is not given such leisure, and can be deadly very quickly. Also, blood chokes squeeze your two main arties you mention, on the SIDES of your neck, and in order to effectively choke, you need to cut both off. This is of course baring the fact he mostly kneeled on his back, which would have no bearing on the blood flow.
Oh I know tolerance, the old devil's lettuce doesn't hit me like it used to since I blaze it all day every day. Just that everything I heard about fent is they make it into the most lethal drug ever, that just gazing upon it too long can send you into a shock.
the dude had like 4 different drugs in his system all at once (fentanyl, meth, caffeine, cannabis)
And was positive for the WuFlu.
