Whatever it was, I can't imagine it warranted an attack as vicious as that. The man had absolutely no control going by the video and he looked genuinely terrified. He should've been handcuffed and sent away there and then, not strangled and pushed to the floor.

guess joining police is next best thing since kkk has lost support
why so many policemen there are fat? don't they have a fitness test? or is it that they don't need to give a chase coz they just shoot? |

If the guy has his hands in the air offering NO resistance then the cop's action is ASSAULT because only REASONABLE force necessary for restraint or arrest is lawful.

But you've just commented that the man wasn't doing as he was told. Where is the evidence of that, then? Last edited by Ashley.; 12-05-2018 at 05:25 PM. |

When I worked in America, I lived in South Carolina and spent a lot if time in NC. There was then still a very apparent black / white divide and therefore it is not a massive stretch to believe there is some unpleasant racial undertones that exist. The cop does appear to be very heavy handed but as we don't know the full details cannot comment further.

I don’t think policemen anywhere are allowed to choke suspects n9 matter what went on previously

I personally believe that SOME racists DO gravitate to jobs such as the Police or Prison Officers - both in the USA and here, but they ARE in a tiny minority and MOST cops are decent people doing a thankless job under extremely dangerous conditions. In my opinion anyway.

Totally, Kirk. It wasn't my intention to blame all police. Don't know America, but what we see is disturbing and there must be some reason on BOTH sides.
In the UK, overall, I have utmost respect for the police force. The fact that I worked for them freelance for a while has done nothing but strenghten this respect. |

I would not have a cop's job given in this ever increasingly insane and violent world.

I'll have to ask my husband when he gets home to be ask about the specific method, but I don't think he was intending to choke him... looks like he was trying to restrain him via his shoulders to get him down to the ground. It's a maneuver iirc.
