23 year old killed by cops over pot ...

Just awful.......tears and nausea right now....

I'm speechless.

wow.. are those even real police?? I've seen woman officers subdue suspects more efficiently. From the way it looks he didn't break free, instead of using proper technique to control the man on the ground they seem to have decided "lets step away and just taze him.."

I may be mistaken, but in a war,people die. As a prisoner of war,it is your duty to try and escape. If escape is not possible at this time, the highest ranking in the group assumes command and begins working on a suitable plan for escape. If it is you and a cop guess who should be in charge of the escape attempt?

Fight fire with fire, know the enemy.

Oh yeah, try and invoke the Geneva Convention (only have to give name rank and serial number) when they arrest you and demand to speak to the highest ranking they have. As a prisoner of war you have rights that could become an international incident.....hmmmm.

I doubt they called an ambulance until after they realized he was unconscious. Before then they didn't have a reason to.

I also highly doubt the cops had any desire to see someone die that day. It's not like they love to kill people, and saying that they do is just ignorant.

You can see that he stuffs the sac in his mouth after he pushed his way off the ground while he was getting hand cuffed. This guy choked on a bag of weed, I dont see how that can be anyones fault but his.

You obviously have no medical training, and have just seen E.R. too many times. No one knew what was causing the obstruction until the EMTs arrived and assessed him.

When the EMTs arrived, he had been without oxygen for at least 5 minutes, and probably had no vitals. This means he was not even attempting to breathe. Your recommendation at that point is a tracheotomy? Pointless. How about we try shocking his heart and removing the obstruction instead of useless things we've seen on TV?

THE ALL CAPS IN YOUR POST WAS VERY CONVINCING OF YOUR EXPERTISE, as was your understanding of basic emergency medical care like "Tranche tubes," but I fail to see the point in your post. Blame everyone else, right?
