In the short video I have seen, there are a dozen officers around. It would be interesting to know if there was a call and that is who responded, or if this situation built over time. Seems kinda Rodney King-ish to me. The video showed part of the situation way overboard, but in context it wasn’t as bad.
At least that is my understanding.
I used to watch some MMA, and some of those guys could make another guy tap in just a few seconds. Others could try but never get a guy to tap or pass out. I doubt the cop could choke the guy out in the 15 seconds that his hands were near the guys throat. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want to be choked for 15 seconds, but I find it hard to believe it killed the guy.

Most of those officers arrived after the arrest took place. Look at the video again, and you’ll see a police car arriving with its siren on. That’s when the two officers got out their cuffs and began the arrest.
