A sleeper hold, which is a type of chokehold??????

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeper_hold

Wikipedia posted:

Blood choke

Blood chokes, carotid restraint or sleeper holds, are a form of strangulation that compress one or both carotid arteries and/or the jugular veins without compressing the airway, hence causing cerebral ischemia and a temporary hypoxic condition in the brain.[5] A well applied blood choke may lead to unconsciousness in a matter of seconds. Compared to strangulation with the hands, properly applied blood chokes require little physical strength.

No you're not. It's laid out in the goddamn Wikipedia entry and in the first page of Google results. You can't be that interested. I have zero interest in spoon-feeding you, or enabling some ridiculous "please educate me" pantomime with one of the worst posters in the Trayvon Martin threads, who just so happened to show up in this thread, accuse everyone else of rushing to conclusions, then proclaim half-heard accounts of unknown provenance picked out of a post-incident video definitive while saying "look, I know lots of cops, no cop would ever do this."

Yeah uh, I don't really see a difference between "police killed him by strangling him like this" versus "police killed him by strangling him like that". Unless you're arguing that somehow that guy didn't die, that is, in fact, an example of "police killing a black dude".


EDIT: ^^ I don't choke people very often but I don't see why the gently caress "let's cut off blood to the brain" could be meaningfully safer than "let's cut off air to the lungs".

A "sleeper hold" is a chokehold. It's a blood choke as opposed to an air choke, but it is 100% a choke, and the policy that bans NYC police from using chokes doesn't differentiate.

It was an illegal choke.

Which is crazy regardless because the reason behind it is even more insulting.

He first was selling illegal cigarettes?
second he said he couldn't breathe, a huge way to tell you are doing the hold incorrectly.

According to KTVI 2, there is a sniper around the BBQ joint where the report of the armed guys was. My uneducated position is that they this the guy might still be there, but if it is near the protesters it could explain some tension. On the other hand, why does a PD have a sniper that can shoot from the top of a car?

"Carotid restraint is not prohibited by the NYPD,[12] while the chokehold tactic is prohibited by the New York Police Department's protocol.[13]"

revisiting the video though I'm not qualified to tell the difference but certainly looks like airway constriction to me so I was prob wrong in thinking the cop was acting within protocol.

Anyway, the whole point of this derail is so that posters will get bogged down in finding the exact details of NYPD policy regarding proper physical force used against suspects instead of focusing on the most important point, that cops loving killed yet another black man, this time one who was proven on video to be non-violent, and was in fact begging to be left alone.

The footnoted source for that claim doesn't actually establish that the carotid restraint is legal. The only mention is the sentence "Establish the proper application of carotid restraints" as part of a course description in a list of training courses offered by the state police. The chokehold ban is New York City policy, not state policy, so state training materials that mention the teaching of the hold is not an indication that NYC allows them.

It's a disgusting abuse of police power even if it had been technically legal, but the fact that it's actually not just means we get to see how deep the rot runs with the decision to bring up charges.

fwiw if it turns out the cop actually shot the kid as is claimed then jesus of course he is guilty of murder and deserves to rot in prison. i am not trolling, i genuinely do not understand why people are not skeptical of the story that a cop gunned down a kid with his hands up and do feel that there is a high liklihood the cop did fail to perform his job properly but did not actually murder someone surrendering.

i know some ppl think those who questioned zimmerman's guilt were trolling but i certainly was not. i was not convinced he certainly murdered the kid in cold blood or was guilty of murder, i did not feel the evidence was sufficient to show it beyond a reasonable doubt. my assessment of the evidence and the burden of proof for that claim was also the same conclusion drawn by the jury so it seems kind of ridiculous to claim i was trolling when it turned out the obvious outcome i said was going to happen actually happened.

Nebby.

This entire situation is very unfortunate. There's a lot of anger and hurt as well as a lot of confusion. I realize you are saying there are two sides to a story, and I won't dispute that. There's a lot of healing to work towards, and it has to be really rough out there for a lot of people, Darren included. I realize I may get flack for saying things are rough for Darren as well, but it doesn't make it not so, especially in complicated situations. I think everyone would hope that we all can work through this together. It will take a lot of work but it can be done.

I just hope everyone involved can make the right choices that need to be made right now - so we can all work towards healing. And I am including all parties and sides involved in all of this.

I'm not going to post further on this topic due to how emotions are running high, but I do hope that things can come to a peaceful ending.

Hey, they use choke holds in UFC and that's a highly popular sport. If it's good enough for a refereed sport with medics on hand and the option to tap out then it's good enough for some cop without any sort of medical back up or option to tap out.

Also, Muay Thai has a stance where you hold your head above your head. I'm sure the officer knew that and felt justifiably threatened when Michael Brown intimidatingly raised his hands above his head.
