If I were being strangled to the point I could not breath I doubt I could speak out and say "I can't breath." as that would be physically impossible for me to do.

From what I have read Floyd was saying he could not breath while he was still standing, before he was ever put down on the ground for not complying with the police instructing him to get into the back seat of their vehicle. Now all that being said, from the videos it does appear excessive force was used by placing the knee on his neck. Whether sufficient pressure was applied by the knee to strangle him will come out in the autopsies. All of the actual facts will come out in a trial, hopefully. Until then I am keeping an open mind.
