 If you can't breathe, you can't convey that you can't breathe. If you can't breathe, you don't talk about how you can't breathe when you're sitting in the back of a police car, refusing to put your legs in and fighting and resisting arrest. If you can't breathe, you can't resist arrest. If you're loaded up with fentanyl and your airways are closing up because you're overdosing on drugs whilst lying about having eaten a bunch of drugs because you don't want to go back to jail again...
