Not a fair comparison. My patients were not criminals resisting arrest. They did not state they could not breathe as an attempt to possibly escape or harm the LEOs. And they did not complain they could not breathe long before they had any respiratory problem whatsoever.
And we DO NOT understand what Floyd meant, unless you are psychic
But if you think I am taking sides, I am not. I don't know what happened that day.
For example, it has been suggested he died from a fentanyl OD, not from the choke hold. I find that unlikely, as I'm sure you do, since he would not be in any condition to resist anything. This was fentanyl, not PCP, he would be lethargic and weak from it.
