That would be fine. It's wouldn't harm me at all.
It's a totally safe maneuver, which is why it's used by police departments all over the country. It's taught by police departments [[Including the Minneapolis PD) as a proper tactic.
A few things we need to consider that the race-baiting, America hating leftist media won't tell us;
1. The officers knee was against the BACK of Mr. Floyd's neck,.. NOT HIS THROAT. Try this experiment yourself [[I have),..... take your right fist and press it against the right rear of your neck,... and see if it interferes with your breathing at all.
Press REAL HARD,.. so hard that it leaves marks on your neck.
It doesn't affect your breathing at all does it? Not even the teeny, tiniest bit.
2. The other officer had Mr. Floyd cuffed, and standing against the squad car. He then tried to put Mr. Floyd inside [[where he could have sat peacefully by himself. This would also allow the officers could stop paying attention to him, and instead go about dealing with the car, the other occupants, searching for drugs, etc. etc). But Mr. Floyd said no, and that he was having trouble breathing [[this while he's still standing up). He also says "I can't breathe". And that he was claustrophobic and that he'd just had Covid. He then insisted he be laid down on the pavement.
The media doesn't mention this do they? That he couldn't breathe EVEN BEFORE he was put on the ground, and long before anyone's knee was against the BACK of his neck?
The reason why he is dead now is probably because of him having already had breathing issues because of a combination of things like him being high on fentanyl, and meth, and being a smoker [[of cigarettes and drugs), and having Covid, and having atherosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease, etc, etc.
On top of that, he was probably having a panic attack, because he was being arrested with hard drugs in and ON his person. That plus hi already having a bunch of strikes against him already meant he was likely to go away for a long time.
There is no real evidence that the cop's knee had anything to do with his death. But is was a bad look.
