re: Grand Jury Doesn't Indict Cops who kill man with down syndrome

The issues come into focus when we see a cop choke a dude to death and all the cops look at the video and say, "Looks good to me."

He did put him into the hold, but to say he choked him to death is not exactly correct. The choke hold wasn't on him very long at all. I don't think anyone would argue this couldn't have been handled better, but with a man this size and with his strength it isn't always pretty when he gets taken down. On that note, I wouldn't have applied the choke hold/head lock on him. I would have taken his legs out from under him to take him down.
