  1. A seatbelt hold, look it up.

  2. I come back and read these comments and find it amazing how ignorant some people are.  Learn the law folks, and stop trying to blame the cops when all the guy, who had a record, had to do was just do what they told him to do.  You sort the mess out later.

  3. Exactly.  I was caught in the street at 2 in the morning drinking a beer and walking around.  I didn't know about the open container law since my hometown never enforces it (I was in a different city).  I complied with the cop and he just poured it out and told me to go home.  Just listen to the cops and sort it out later, it isn't that hard.

  4. dramatish If you want to bring race into this I was with a black guy as well, nothing happen to him either.  Shocking, he was shot execution style.

  5. Well the chokehold isn't illegal, it is not allowed, a slight difference.  But this wasn't a chokehold, it was a seatbelt hold (at least determined to be) which is similar and cops are trained liked that.  You don't like it, than change the law.  Also, it is a little excessive to do what they did for a guy selling cigarettes (one again, if you hate the law than change it), but this is a man who have been arrested several times.  He has a record, and wouldn't listen to police, he was resisting arrest.   So that is a point where the cops are going to have it in for you.  Now not letting him up, if every cop were to let a criminal up saying they can't breath we would have a lot more dead cops.  Criminals are not particularly honest, thus you can't trust them.  If the cop lets him up, he gets up, stabs a cop and runs, then what?  This man as out of shape and it has been determined that his health played a bigger role.  There wasn't any law broken by the cops at this point.  So what Kyle said is factually incorrect.  The big picture of this is that people need to listen to the cops.  Listen to the cops and than deal it out later.  Fighting and not obeying the cops is leading to these problems.  Do what they say and then sort it out later. Now someone may have a different opinion, but look at the whole story, not just what Kyle says.  And, as I just mentioned, listen to the cops.  If you start looking for trouble with cops you will get trouble.  Comparing this to Ferguson, whether you like it or not, Brown did assault the cop, and if Brown would have been on the sidewalk, or just did what the cop asked than he would be alive.  It isn't like these cops are going around killing people execution style.

  6. GaryHMan Yeah, where is humanity?  Why didn't the guy, who has been arrested before (I heard 31 times) just do what the cop said and than sort it out later?  The law is the law, if you don't like it than change it.

  7. GothicIntellect Do what the cop says and than sort it out later.

  8. GothicIntellect No, but the cops shouldn't be easy on you. Let us say I break the law by speeding.  Instead of pulling over I drive on.  I am now a threat to society just like a guy who resists arrest.  The cops down the road throw out some road spikes. I hit them and crash and die.  Who's fault is that?  Should the cops just let me speed and potentially kill someone or continuing breaking the law?  Should the cops let this guy break the law?

  9. carter Murdock Yes you can, it is called electing in new politicians to change the law.

  10. All the uproar with Brown and Garner, in Reno, NV an unarmed white man was shot in front of the university by a cop and killed.  Where is the uproar about him?  That man who was shot was in his car and not attacking anyone.  Where is the uproar about him?  Oh, I forgot, he is white so he deserved it.
