Thread: Suspect puts drugs in his mouth; cop breaks his neck

Again: cops are trained in effective take-down techniques that minimize the chance for permanent injury or death on the suspect's part but are still effective in incapcitating suspects of any size relative to the officer.

Strangling someone is not such a technique, and strangling the suspect had nothing to do with incapacitating the guy.

EDIT: I have to say one thing though: the one way in which I am most disappointed in media coverage of these issues is that they never have third-party disinterested "experts" analyze the situation and say what the officer in concern did right or wrong.
