Grand Jury Decides Not To Indict Cop In Eric Garner Chokehold Case

[KestrelBike]

I was wondering why the forum has been quiet on this one. I don't know man. Looks kinda bad for the cops here, based on the video I saw. If there's more to see/know I'd like to see it.

Nope, not cop bashing. Just looks bad.

Do NYPD even get that much training? (seriously asking) because it seems like there must be so many of them due to the size of NY, that quality control could be difficult (especially if they're doing secret affirmative action type recruiting.. and not just race-based, but overall qualifications type selection). Don't forget, two years ago a couple NYPD shot *NINE* bystanders while aiming at 1 suspect.

I'm also going to add that a Coratid hold doesn't involve actually choking someone. You apply pressure to the sides of the neck to temporarily deprive the brain of oxygen. It's supposed to be used on violently resisting subjects.
