Yes, that was NOT a seatbelt hold, at least not the entire time. A seatbelt hold goes under the armpit. The cop was choking Garner with his left arm around the neck and was cranking it down with his right. I supported Zimmerman and Wilson, but Garner and Tamir Rice deserve justice
Agreed. This no where near the same circumstances of DW.
In the video, the policeman choking him out keeps yelling ‘put your arm behind your back!’ as if that 375 pound obese diabetic man could do such a thing in that cradle wrestling takedown position he’s being held in. He was killing him, whether he meant to or not.
Another point, if some tattooed hipster dressed like that flashed a badge and declared himself to be cop in Nevada, he’d probably get fast-drawed on by some citizen thinking they were about to be robbed by a carjacking crook with a fake badge.
cop on the right has some serious tats
