Usually, after charges of police brutality, police officials take their time reacting while they follow procedure to determine who did what. But this episode in Knoxville, Tenn., was so extreme and well-documented that the local sheriff fired the officer immediately.
Frank Phillips, a Knox County Sheriff’s officer, was fired Sunday night after a series of pictures taken by photographer John Messner were published in the Daily Mail in Britain. They showed an officer identified by the Sheriff’s Office as Phillips grabbing 21-year-old college student Jarod Dotson around the neck and squeezing him until he fell to his knees.

Ok...you’re right. Dotson was being a darling little angel.
You win.
LEO was wrong...
Yes.
Leo was wrong to choke him.
Now why do you think it is okay to choke people out who aren’t resisting?
No wonder cops rue the day the iphone was birthed!
What did I say now? I’ve already been reprimanded and all I said was the “party” situation appeared to be out of hand..

Photos are not a good reflection of how a person actually is.
But the photo montage of his ACTIONS are.

Yeah, that’s all you said.
Which makes choking an unresisting person in handcuffs okay, right?
That’s proper ethics and behavior?
Sheriffs have to run for reelection, chiefs of police don’t. I would attribute the quick action partially to this fact.
What??? No mug shot of the arrested in the media or posted? Hum wonder why? Anybody gonna search for it.
