Tashii, the now dead career criminal:

Anybody been following this? First I’ve read.

Tashii is male? ok-— beat him with that metal pipe given to him to replace that sissy baton.. oh, wait, Rodney King is screaming from Hell.

Clips of video from Lopera's police body-camera and casino security cameras that have been made public show Lopera using a stun gun seven times and punching Brown before placing him in what a top police official described as an unapproved chokehold for more than a minute.

"That's your problem, right there."

Keep a carotid blood choke on anyone for more than a few seconds, and you can kill them, no problem. That's one reason that fighters tap out so quickly in MMA, and referees will do it for them—by ending the fight—if they don't.

That sort of choke, if properly done, will render anybody unconscious in just a few seconds. Maintaining any such hold significantly beyond that point is extremely dangerous, and palpably negligent.

Is this officer—who identifies his racial heritage as Colombian and Puerto Rican, and trains in Brazilian jiu jitsu—going to try and claim that the subject was still conscious during that minute? Because if that isn't the case, he's guilty of negligent manslaughter at the very least...

Rear naked choke, but no ref?

[moovova]

So the victim asked the cop for help...and the cop killed him.

Makes sense.

Brown also used the name Tashii Farmer. He was intoxicated by methamphetamine and had an enlarged heart, but Coroner John Fudenberg said Brown died of lack of oxygen, or "asphyxia due to police restraint."

The officer is totally innocent. Wacked out on meth and tazed seven times, tried to evade the officer, the dead man had to be stopped. End of story.
