2. An officer who has used a neck restraint or choke hold shall inform individuals accepting custody of the subject, that the technique was used on the subject.
The officer in the Michael Brown case was never charged so there is hope.
Oh ok maybe he was checking his pulse with his knee.
Again, please read the ME’s summary.
I did. No pulse last 2 minutes. What he did was dangerous and contributed. He is going down probably for manslaughger imo. One of the cops will flip i.e. the one that wanted to put him on his side.
Yes. For two reasons, defuse the present situation and, serve as a bad example for other officers.
We said exactly that same thing at dinner last night !!!
One-way tickets home
See, that’s part of the problem , why do you need a permit to carry a weapon? Take your freedom back.
Makes sense. BLM and Antifa are Soros funded rent-a-riots.
Currently we cannot even get a haircut without Gov. permission!
Had to go the the ‘Big City’ yesterday.
Could not get much done as I had not made several appointments in advance.
No haircut, no inside banking, for examples.
This illustrates why every level of Gov. Org. now demands we have a ‘License’ for just about every conceivable activity.
Without the license requirements they have too little leverage to enforce their whims.
To regain freedom it will require much more than just nullifying CCW permit laws.
And since so many of the licenses are really there for revenue and to create protected business classes, the vested interest will howl at any hint of relaxation.
Bottom of the ‘Slippery slope’ is easy to glide down to, but very hard to climb up from!
I've said all along to wait until cause of death comes out before making a judgement so I am witholding mine until I know more.
It sure as hell isn't what was originally claimed.
This is just the latest of countless similar cases that proves that this dysfunctional marriage between blacks and whites is simply not working and there is no hope of it ever working, here or anywhere else in the world.
I don’t know how, but the sooner a divorce can be arranged the better for both sides.
It’s like forcing cats and dogs to live in the same cage.
“They are not animals they are humans.”
There are humans far worse than any animal. A lot of them are on exhibit in these riots.
Or better yet, we should have picked our own cotton.

Delusional. The races are mixing. In another generation or two nearly every American extended family will be biracial.
Yeah, you are right. And from what I know, once in, you can’t back out... You have to break out. I suppose that’s coming.
Yep - knee on his neck/carotid artery for that long - and continued almost 3 minutes after he became unresponsive...
How do they charge him with murder and manslaughter? I thought only one dude died?
