On the contrary, nothing has changed. It is still true that perps will often feign injury and illness. In fact, I suspect that George Floyd will lead to pretty much every perp yelling "I can't breathe" when getting arrested. And it is still true that talking requires air movement through the trachea, so Floyd could still breathe when he was talking.in retrospect how ignorant and unprescient these early posts by Derec look
Note also his drug use (meth AND fentanyl) combined with a heart condition.
This doesn't look like an excited delirium case, it's unlikely that his drug use had anything to do with his death other than making him talk back to the cop and thus provoke the neck pressure punishment.
