I watched this, this morning, and the light went on for me too - he was in a car, so why was he suddenly claustrophobic?  I don't know about the drugs in his system, I thought that the ME said he had a drug in his system, but that was really only an indication that he had taken it in the last few days.  Surely having Chavon's knee in his neck didn't enhance his chances of survival, because he was drunk.  You know, I watch a lot of videos, and there seems to be a practice to say "I can't breathe" as soon as they are handcuffed - maybe in his case he really coudn't breathe, but if the police hear it all the time, perhaps they don't take it seriously.  And you notice right away that he starts saying "don't shoot me" - that's enough to get the bystanders filming.  If he had just gotten into the car and didn't resist arrest, he would have been alive today.

There is no doubt in my mind that the cop with the knee on his neck is going to be convicted.  I don't expect the others to be, or if they are, it will be much reduced charges.
