Rush Limbaugh was just talking about how this was not a choke hold, and he cited an article written by Bo deitl on this very subject in which he says it was not a choke hold, and that those claim it is are knowingly lying.
And I also believe that.
I didn’t see the cop at any point attempting to apply pressure to the arteries of the neck.
Furthermore, I’d like to point out that applying pressure to the arteries of the neck does not at the same time restrict a person’s ability to breathe.
I do not believe engaging in dishonesty on either side of this matter is helpful at all.
All I want to deal with is truth and fact, and truth and fact is that no choke hold was applied.
That’s not why the man died.
I agree completely. Good observations. My only point was that based on his arm placement gave me the impression it was a poorly applied sleeper. It indeed was not a choke.
