But any pressure to his chest WASN'T blamed for anything. As I pointed out it is ALWAYS pressure to the chest that is the cause in other cases. He "exhaled a bit more air" a couple of dozen times. You can't do that without inhaling at some point. He was able to lift his head AND neck at times. The pressure that was blamed was to the SIDE of his neck, not to his throat.
What happened is NO different to what happens around the World, when somebody decides to be awkward and aggressive, and has to be restrained. How it turns out depends on whether the person actually calms down and stops struggling and being awkward and aggressive.
