Yes. Resisting arrest can be simply not moving fast enough in response to an officer command.


Yes. I've seen someone threatened with it because they asked a question before complying.

Asking pigs questions is a big no-no.

We should all know better.

Okay.
So simply put, cutting off the airway i.e., airway obstruction resulting in death of a strong individual causes coincident swelling of the lungs known as negative inspiratory pressure pulmonary edema (NIPPE). Chest compression as cause of death does not cause pulmonary edema. It's sort of an either or picture. The fact the poor fellow was saying "I can't breathe, I can't breathe" is far more compatible with compression FWIW.

If the cop was trained and told not to do what he did, what culpability does the city have? I mean clearly he went rouge, right? Or is the settlement ment to garner support from the majority in the community for reelection?

Settlements occur everyday with law enforcement agencies when the department is not at fault.

Agencies do this for fear of going to trial and getting stuck with a liberal judge and jury.

They believe it saves them money, I say take all their asses to court........when u win.....counter sue their arse!

That would hopefully show some of these assholes that if you bring a frivolous suit.......get ready to pay!

But neck compression could cause death without airway obstruction, correct?

Correct. This was not a choke hold.

Hell, my 7yo that takes Karate knows this.

My wife and I were watching the news a few nights ago and they were showing the video.

My 7yo then gave her and I a full instruction on a "proper choke hold" then proceeded to inform both of us that had a proper choke hold been in place, the man on the TV wouldn't be able to talk.

Yup. A fricking 7yo kid knows better. Unreal.

The settlement will be by an insurance company who knows they have liability. They don't GAF about reelection. The cop should not have qualified immunity if he's acting outside policy which is obviously why the union is arguing he acted within policy.

Their insurance carriers are apparently disagreeing.

A I have said here and other places numerous times. People and suspects determine the level of force used against them by police. When that statement ceases to be true you have the beginning of an excessive force case.

The entire system is designed to encourage settlements. Especially in federal court. Settlements can be controlled. This is for all cases regardless of parties involved.

This is just not true. Police determine the level of force used by police. Whether they determine it correctly or not is where the question of excessive force comes into play. Your construction is just totally and completely false.

Not with the guy saying "I can't breathe" during the process. Again, vascular compression would cause a rapid LOC.

But as Baden noted above (assuming that's correct), there was hemorrhaging in the neck. So it would be silly to not mention the compression of the neck in the autopsy.

Officer Pantaleo only follows procedure. Just like last year when he made two subjects strip nude in public for a search. Procedure.

Rapid? Like maybe about 10-13 seconds? Or faster?

That really makes no sense.
It also conflicts with other reports.

However, the focus is on cause of death.
Insofar as ocular petechiae, or neck hemorrhage are compatible with other evidence as to cause of death, those observations would be important. Otherwise, they are of no more value than other incidental injuries sustained . . . scrapes, abrasions, etc.
