The jury has heard repeatedly that police officers are taught that restraining people facedown is dangerous. Dr. Tobin walked the jury through exactly why, explaining first that simply being in the prone position reduces lung capacity. On top of that, a knee on the neck compressed Mr. Floyd’s airway, he said, and the weight on his back alone made it three times harder than normal to breathe. Dr. Tobin discounted the oft-repeated adage that someone who can talk can breathe, calling it “a very dangerous mantra to have out there.” It is technically true, he said, but “It gives you an enormous false sense of security. Certainly at the moment that you are speaking you are breathing, but it doesn’t tell you that you’re going to be breathing five seconds later.”
