But if he had underlying medical conditions, the heart attack can be brought on by lack of oxygen. And it�s not how long you hold the arm across the trachea, but how hard. It can be just a second, but if it�s hard swelling can start. I�m betting there�s a reason the ME ruled it a homicide. I think that cop screwed the pooch.
Again, I�m not saying there was anything racial about it. I�m just saying this doesn�t pass the smell test.
If you or I did something to make someone have a heart attack, you and I both know we�d be staring down a manslaughter charge�why is it different for this cop?
Or isn't it more likely it was brought on by all the excitement of him getting his ass kicked by the cops for resisting arrest?
Not according to the ME who ruled it a homicide. He has the full picture, you and I are just speculating.
