Corrigan, you are a moron.
Do you really not understand what its like to truly be choked? If you get choked, which Im absolutely sure SOMEONE has done to you (obviously, you've given many people a reason to), you cant breathe. Your windpipe is closed, you turn red, you cant speak.
This guy was yelling. He's yelling "I CANT BREATHE" because he wants to get the cops off of him and draw attention to his situation. The dumb fuck should have not resisted.
