NEW YORK — A New York City police officer was suspended without pay Sunday after he was recorded putting his arm around a man’s neck in what the police commissioner called an “apparent chokehold.”
And the nature of the police call? Selling single cigarettes? Suspicion of passing a counterfeit $20? Jogging?
Black birding.
What they don’t tell you that it was 2 white guys with him and they just choked him…
But not FIRED… Fire him NOW
He was reportedly booked on suspicion of disorderly conduct, obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest.

An officer tapped his fellow officer and pulled on his shirt to stop him and bring him back under self control.
Silver linings.
Change is hard, but it’s finding purchase.
Do not relent. No mercy. No quarter.
As horrible as using a choke hold is and you think the police can’t go any lower without actually killing someone…look at this. Scroll to the top of page.
