--SNIP-- This comes as two NYPD officers were yanked off the street Friday as cops and the Staten Island district attorneys investigated the stunning death of a suspect placed in a banned chokehold. The officers were slated for desk duty pending completion of the probe into Thursday’s death of Eric Garner, 43, as he was brought down by five NYPD officers outside a Tompkinsville beauty parlor.

“Loss of life is always a tragedy,” said Police Commissioner Bill Bratton at a City Hall news conference. “Nobody began the day with the expectation it would end the way it did.

Cops choke man to death as he gasps he can't breath

[ConservingFreedom]

JBT ping.

[Vendome]

Too many people are learning MMA and think taking the easy way out has no consequences.

That choke hold can/did have dire outcomes.

[Darksheare]

Banned chokehold...
Hmmmm.
In before the badge worshippers.

In before the badge worshippers.

Can't wait to see how they'll excuse this.

I thought that I recalled that it was banned, but I wasn’t sure.

Cops with tats shouldn’t be among us.

A sure sign on mental disorder.

Go drive a forklift instead. (though there’s nothing wrong with that) (It just means you’re not qualified to determine who lives and dies) (Dooshes!)

Looking into it? That Cop was Judge and Executioner, there's no looking needed.
The man was executed on the street.

May just as well have been this way

[Darksheare]

If the thread about the cop beating the tar out of that lady is any indication..

The usual. He did it to himself. You need to bow and lick the boots of your masters or you deserve what you get.

It’s a real pity that DiBlasio had to postpone his trip to Italy/sarcasm off

Re: 9

I think that Viet Cong had it coming to him.
Pretending to be a civilian, and then attacking and killing people while you and your gang of commie thugs are trying to overthrow the Nation. Sure, he earned his bullet.

[Darksheare]

If hazy memory serves, it was a similar choking death that caused it to be banned to begin with.

[trisham]

Yes, that’s what I recall as well, with my befuddled memory.

[DUMBGRUNT]

Not even close.
A different world. Not a place you would ever want to be.
I was in country for Tet of 68 and two more.

Nguyen Ngoc Loan,Tet offensive of 68

Mr. Loan insisted that his action was justified because the prisoner had been the captain of a terrorist squad that had killed the family of one of his deputy commanders.

[Darksheare]

Wasn’t too long ago either.

Q: How many cops does it take to throw a handcuffed prisoner down the steps behind the lockup?

A: None. They always jump. (Headfirst.)

IIRC the picture’s site takes place Da Nang during the Tet Offensive; the shootee is NVN and the shooter has found out that the NVN terrorists (not necessarily the dead shootee) have executed his wife and family plus about 5,000 loyal south vietnamese.
