      he suffocated under his own body weight because he wasn’t fit enough to be laid on his stomach

      They restricted a man’s body until he died. Pretty simple case of murder.

      Looks to me like another extrajudicial murder by cops. More similar than different.

      Yes, all of those offenses he committed deserved the death penalty, without trial. /s

      the whole ethical discussion aside, is it even possible for someone to choke under their own body weight, or die if they lay on their stomach, if they aren’t terminally obese or something like that?

      legitimately curious, as people are throwing this around like it was normal… is this an American thing?

        Yes. Fortunately, the human body has a lot of reflexive defenses against it, so the only way it could happen is if you were forced into the situation against all struggles.
