The choker is not a cop. His wife is a deputy. And he choked the guy in front of the guy’s little girl.
A person recorded it on his cell phone and came forward through an attorney. He’s smart enough to remain anonymous since he has evidence against a deputy and her husband. The attorney says the video shows the man’s legs jerking and he can be heard gurgling.
Sounds like the deputy’s husband may not have been trained and may not have known what he was doing. The fact that he held it for 15 minutes says so. The fact that the dead guy was gurgling says so. In a properly applied choke hold, you can’t make a sound. But we’re talking probabilities and can’t decide anything here. It needs to go to a courtroom. All around tragedy if you ask me. Poor little girl who saw her daddy die like that... I hope she’s too young to remember it.
