Well if we are talking about stupidity it seemed a good example.

I have no issue with donating £10 to charity, I think he'll get to appeal and the outcome will change, I don't think he'll be found not guilty on all charges if that's what you think I meant because I don't think he is.

So you reckon he withheld his breath to the point of dying on purpose to try and get out of being arrested?
No one is saying GF is a modern day saint, not by a long shot, many people are saying that a police officer shouldn't be allowed to murder a suspect.
That is the difference. You clearly don't understand what a straw man is.

I've seen people wrestle police to the floor, grab their tasers and attempt to flee on foot while discharging the taser at the persuing policeman before.
People will do desperate things to avoid going back to prison.
Everyone is saying that. You are clearly misguided is if you think people are arguing in favour of police murdering people on the streets.

My personal belief is that he had taken sufficient quantities of drugs that combined with his preexisting heart conditions that he struggled to breath before he was placed on the floor.
Alternatively he was faking it to try to escape.
I heard him described as a "hero" and a "great man" today on the news. He was of course far from being either - and no, this doesnt mean I think it was justified to kill him but making him out to be some sort of saint is ridiculous and particularly worrying when you see Biden and Harris publically buying into it.
Oh for petes sake, the suspect was subdued, there's no argument about that as he was asphixiated to death over about 9 mins whilst people were shouting for him to have medical attention. The murderer ignored this.
They could have cuffed his ankles also, for example, if he was wriggling too much and still being a nuisance, and just chucked him into the back of a police van, but they did not, they murdered him on the street in plain view.
I think he could have whipped himself up into a drug induced hysteria since he was able to breathe when he claimed he couldn't otherwise he would have passed out before he was put on the floor.
Did they have a police van in attendance, I didn't see one in the video. Perhaps he was being knelt on to prevent him biting the officer. For all the police knew he could have been infected with hepatitis.
Could they? Are they trained to cuff people by the ankles and throw them into vans?
I believe he did when he was in the police car as the officer offered to wind down the window. I think it's highly likely a number of factors contributed to his death rather than solely the neck hold.

How can someone fake something (asphyxiation) when it's actually happening?

Yeah, but this time something changed that resulted in the detainees death.
Wonder what that was?
