FF, you’re spot on! My experiences with intoxicated/drugged individuals is that they either (1) Go into excited delirium, (2) Say “They can’t breathe “, (3) Say “ I have chest pains”, (4) Pretend to faint, (5) Claim the cuffs are too tight.
Floyd was definitely riding on something. It appears the officers tried to humanely handle it. That being said, I don’t agree with the length of time that Chauvin had his knee on his neck.
It is easy to become somewhat callous when repeatedly dealing with these individuals, especially repeat offenders that follow the same script.
