I’m not excusing his actions. The reality is I don’t have enough facts to judge him. The main facts I’d like to know are:
1) Did the officer have probable cause to suspect a crime was committed? 2) Was the suspect non-compliant with the officer’s commands? 3) Did the officer hold the choke an excessive period AFTER the…

Go into a New York City park around 2am, get harassed by a druggy and choke him out. Please report back on how many seconds it took and remember to not apply excessive force, because the druggy might have a heart condition.

Well I guess if a cop yells at you to stop and you keep running, you should probably comply.

Where did you get 7 to 10 seconds? Depending on the choke, and the angle, and the person, it could take a minute to render someone unconscious.

That’s some artistic and beautiful word-smithing sir. That’s why you write, and I merely comment.

Sounds ridiculous but yes, essentially people make no sense about a topic unless they have knowledge on it.

Hey Breanna,

I think there should be a rule that people have to do at least one police ride-along before posting comments about them on the internet.

Learn what a choke hold is before being a warrior for justice.

You’re absolutely right. Facts and context matters. In order to fairly assess whether the officer was being a dickhead and acting in anger, I’d love to know how much longer he choked the guy, AFTER he passed out? If he held him for more than 10 seconds after passing out, then that is irresponsible and negligent and…

Calling a choke hold “UNAPPROVED” is what is funny. Expecting officers to protect good members of society from drug raged maniacs and then COMPLAINING when their perfectly safe methods of restraint kill the guy, are completely pathetic.

Spoken like a true ignorant person who has never been trained in martial arts. I have been “choked out” at least 12 times in my life. It’s a standard, safe move to subdue an opponent in Jiu-Jitsu and many other forms of hand-to-hand combat. It’s the opposite of a lethal move. Choking someone out requires no hitting or…

Mine takes 2 years to turn 1,000 miles. No people consumed. Yet.

Nice photos and article and car. I was a Honda hater in the 90's until I got a ride in a friends very beefy and aftermarket Type R and wow was I blown away. As for the sunroof, all the owner needs to do is remove it. Because you know what weighs less than a sunroof? A hole in your roof. Problem solved. –Or fit a piece…

I used to work in the medical field, and experienced multiple incidents where people on drugs came into the clinic to get their fix on prescription drugs. People on drugs sometimes have to be restrained. Period. I put people in UNAPPROVED (lol) choke holds to restrain them. Their hearts were beating at 160 bpm because…

You are correct. The 2,106 was how many V8 Auto transmission cars were made. Irrelevant because mine is a V8 manual (2,402 of the 10,478 total.)

I used to own a Gen II turbo MR2, and I can tell you that it did actually live up to your dreams back in the 90's. Especially with some coilovers, sway bars, and a tune, it was quick, light, nimble, and had looks to kill. IMO it was better than the 300ZX and Mustangs of its era.

Pshht. Not a lotta imports at these things huh? I illegally parked a Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible a few years back and it was towed, and I assume auctioned off at one of these things to a very lucky bidder.

Great article, very well researched. Thanks for including all the details of the case. Very insightful. /sarcasm

Lol @ those brakes. Those are not the brakes of a 600 hp car :(
