3 Elsewhere in Okla:

Trans-identified female lawyer berates judge, pulls trans card, gets found in contempt, resists arrest, screams “I can’t breathe,” and yells for people to call 911 as she’s fighting police.

Absolutely glorious performance.

4 “I can’t breathe”

No downside that I can see.

5 Given that air must flow out of the lungs to vibrate vocal cords seems to disprove that claim.

8 I am fascinated by this business of shouting the same phrase over and over. Seems to be a common pattern. Is this some circuit in the reptilian brain that is activated by the Fight or Flight signal? Or is it just the monkey brain shorting out?

9 The 'I can’t breathe' seems to being taught to protesters, criminals, the woke and others. Some think it is some magical phrase that will stop the police and others use it as a tactic to draw attention, smartphone cameras, sympathy and the hope it'll help in the trial.

11 I was hoping for a deployed taser or a couple extra kicks. What an asshole.

12 ^ #3 - When one shrieks, "I can't breathe" non-stop, I am inclined to believe he can breathe.

Nice beard, by the way.

14 #3 I've seen some unusual antics in Sooner courtrooms over the years. But I really can't recall any judge who would allow this kind of thing to go on as long as it did. Interrupting the presiding judge? There's a plan.

In a larger sense, what's the deal with so many that seem to think their feelings override, oh say a uniformed federal officer or in this case a seated judge.

When our kids were younger I told them to avoid those situations and made them watch the original 'Ghostbusters' with special attention to the one scene where they are turning off the capture device.

Bill Murray comes flailing down the stairs and says, 'Hello officer I'm Peter Venkman I think there's been a misunderstanding here and I want to do anything I can to cooperate and help clear it up.'

With a special emphasis on you shouldn't be in any similar position in the first place, and , while helpful it's also pretty much a reserve chute; better than nothing but not exactly what you want.
