The human brain can survive 6 minutes without blood flow. So knowing that one could make the assumption that choking someone out for a minute isn’t going to kill them unless it’s a movie, then of course they’re a gonna.
Well of course he died because of his asthma and heart attack.
But that doesn’t mean the cop should get off scot free for using an illegal chokehold.
If a civilian had done what the cop did, and killed somebody with asthma accidentally, he would get manslaughter.
The cop should be charged with manslaughter at least.
Poor people losing home sucks, people fixing shitty neighborhoods is a great thing, being unable to mesh those two together is unfortunate. Although the some of the communities that have been “gentrified” as Raz0r mentioned turn out giving locals there better paying jobs in the long run. So they aren’t completely gentrified.
Let’s be honest, what sacrifices are you going to make to try and prevent such atrocities in the future?
Most likely…none.
You’ll sit around, bitching and complaining about injustice, but you’re not going to put yourself out enough to disrupt your own life. And that’s exactly why events like this will continue to happen.
Soon you’ll move on and bitch about something else, and the mechanations that produce events like this will keep on churning.
So why should I get worked up over this? In the grand scheme of things your bitching and my apathy will have the same result:
That’s like saying some people can hold their breathe underwater for over five minutes, most people would drown in a minute…
Even if you survive going that long without blood to the brain you can suffer permanent brain damage, go into coma, have a stroke etc
Like it was stated earlier different chokes resistrict different functions, airway, artiries, vein
So depending on what choke is applied and for how long the damage could be anywhere from short time incapacity to death. In short you really need to know what the fuck you are doing…
