[QUOTE="Mongo, post: 537386, member: 7239"] Everybody screwed up here. He didn't help himself by resisting the way he did. Was it a natural reaction? Probably. But once cops feel the need to put hands on you, there is no way to predict how far they will go with it. That being said, chokeholds have been out of the law enforcement playbook for years. Did it contribute to his death however? Debatable. His health clearly was a prior issue, and the violence/stress of how he was arrested was likely the straw that broke the camels back and triggered the heart attack. Given that it is in New York, don't hold your breath for anybody to get fired/charged over this. [/QUOTE]
