Your point is moot. The only thing that matters is that a banned maneuver (choke-hold) was applied which led to him being unable to breathe and not only did he die, they stood around and nobody rendered aid. Unless everyone at the scene is charged & fired, the changes are high that it'll happen again. Fire & charge them all and it'll never repeat.

If their policy is like ours, placing your arm around someones neck for control is not a ‘choke’ and not against policy. A choke is rendering someone unconscious. We were allowed to control somebody by placing our arm around their neck. Watching the video I never saw the guy ‘go out.’

This guy was much bigger than both those cops. 6-3, 350. That is going to play into the investigation. As I said before, the video is going to favor the police, it clearly shows the guy resisting a lawful arrest (whether those here like it or not)and the guy never goes out from the neck restraint.

My prediction is the city will likely fire the cop for show, may even charge him but he will get his job back. If he still wants it. And that’s not because of the union, what he did was likely within policy.
