NYPD Cop Uses Chokehold on Man After City Bans the Technique
made the announcement Sunday, saying ..."Accountability in policing is essential. After a swift investigation by the Internal Affairs Bureau, a police officer involved in a disturbing apparent chokehold incident in Queens has been suspended without pay."
It's not entirely clear why the cops decided to bum-rush him -- you hear in the body cam footage that one of the officers felt he"squared up" and got into a fighting stance, and apparently the cops felt threatened. It doesn't look like he did though from what we can tell. Less than a week after New York City said no more chokeholds to cops, an NYPD officer used one while making an arrest ... to the point the person he's subduing loses consciousness.
At that point, it appears the man being arrested has gone limp and is unresponsive -- some of the folks standing around say"he's out." He had indeed passed out and was led away by police moments later.
