that was not my point, yall saying the cop did something illegal by doing a chokehold which is not true, he didnt break the law
he just did not follow police protocol
Police are permitted allowed to resort to violent measure when apprehending a resisting suspect. But chokeholds are against they're policy. It is just as illegal as a cop as it is average citizen.

How can a cop KILL YOU over some damn cigarrettes, in front of EVERYONE in the middle of the day, with an illegal chokehold, while they're being recorded, while the coroner declared the death a MURDER, and you don't even get a slap in the hand?
Imagine if this wasn't caught on video though. Bet money the cop would've concoted a story about being "in fear of his life" by a "hulk like huge black man" and was simply "defending himself" after he was "attacked" with 0 scars to show for it but hEY!
