[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am claustrophobic and it is a horrifying experience. I feel like the oxygen has been sucked completely out of the room, I can’t breath at all, My mind is racing and I can’t focus on any one thought other than I can’t breath, I might die like this. I have been told I freak out like a wild animal to get out of the situation.  It takes a long time after that to feel ‘normal’ again.

Floyd told the cops over and over he was claustrophobic and begged to not be put in the car. He is a large man and the backseat of a cop car is minuscule at best (obviously for a reason). He begged them and they threw him in anyway and he freaked out. When the cops pulled him out of the car Floyd said “THANK YOU”.  Chauvin continued to escalate when he didn’t have to. Being held down,’pinned to the concrete can also feel claustrophobic and cause a visceral reaction. Chauvin had many chances to de-escalate and he did not. He should have provided cpr once Floyd stopped breathing and he did not. reckless homicide at a minimum.

Trying to tie in any health issues is a stretch to make it justified. It’s homicides version of “what she she wearing/she was asking for it” excuse. [/quote]

He had just been in a car. If you’re that claustrophobic wouldn’t you avoid breaking the law? He’d been arrested before. How are people with claustrophobia supposed to be arrested? They offered to open windows and turn on AC. He was also saying I’m not that kind of guy. To me it seemed like he was trying to convince them to let him go. I think they thought he was conning them.
