George Floyd is one of 44 people that Minneapolis police rendered unconscious with neck restraints in the last five years - MarketWatch
So I wonder how many people magically died of a heart attack that arent being added to this 44 people choked out statistic? The same police department knocked out 44 people in 5 years with non-wind choke holds! I wonder how many of them descended into "heart attacks" and swept under the rug like George Floyd? The 44 we do know about are only the ones who woke up and lived to tell about it!
George Floyd was not the first person to lose consciousness after a Minneapolis police officer put him in a chokehold.In fact, Minneapolis cops have rendered 44 people unconscious with neck restraints since the beginning of 2015, according to an NBC News analysis of police records. And three-fifths of them were black.
The Minneapolis police define “neck restraints” as any time an officer uses an arm or a leg to press someone’s neck without directly pressuring the airway, more commonly referred to as a chokehold. And Minneapolis police subdued people this way at least 237 times in the past five years, and 16% of these incidents led to the suspects and other individuals losing consciousness, according to the department’s use-of-force records.
Among those who passed out from this submission tactic, three-fifths were black, about 30% were white, and almost all of them were male. Three-quarters of them were age 40 or younger. Almost half of those who fell unconscious were injured, but the reports did not specify the extent of those injuries.
