I would agree with you on this one Blurrye, on the video I saw this guy was threatening no one, he did not want to go to jail, but you can't blame him for that. I saw no need for the choke hold even if it weren't banned by policy. This cop was wrong, especially when the guy kept telling them he couldn't breathe. I would think the grand jury would have found something wrong with his actions.
He used a chokehold that's been illegal for 21 years. Thank goodness the federal government can step in because of this illegality. The Medical Examiner even testified that it was illegal.
