No, it's an effective way to control population growth.

"Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature"!

Honestly, the air down there is terrible.

He could have asthma.

Meh. People do stupid things when they're stressed. A black guy on a subway being held down by a white guy has got plenty reason to be stressed. He's only human.

fluffy does he sound asthmatic to you?

He only has his arms pinned, no one is sitting on his back.

Yeah of course he could have reason to panic, or just been in a terrible fight and be in shock, or be crazy or something.

Nevertheless, fake "I can't breathe" has a certain pain-in-the-ass quality to it.

The guy was clearly afraid of meeting the same fate as Eric Garner. Why are you pro-police brutality?

hah

What makes you say it's fake, Mr Guy? That sounds like real stress and desperation in his voice. He could well have been having a panic attack, which would account for his inability to breath.

He might be having a panic attack. He was just fighting on a subway, so I don't know if he's soft enough to panic there. He might be bananas or think they NYPD is about to kill him. All possible. Also possible he's using it to get the fuck out.

BUT, not long after that he says "no" he's not hurt. I don't think he's actually emotional enough to scream "I can't breathe" like that, nor do I think he actually can't breathe. I think he's screaming it in self-defense cause he hasn't figure out they're not NYPD, OR he's screaming it so they'll release him.
