"I'm going to f*** choke you out, bro," the New Mexico police officer can be heard saying.
Body camera footage obtained Sunday shows a New Mexico police officer telling a man he’s going to “choke you out” before allegedly causing his death with what authorities described as a “vascular neck restraint.”
Methamphetamines found in Valenzuela's system also “significantly” contributed to his death, the autopsy says. Officers used a stun gun twice that did not affect Valenzuela, the statement says. During a struggle that followed, Smelser used a neck restrain to gain control of him, the statement says. “He was running away,” he said. “There was absolutely no justification to choke him, and certainly nothing to justify killing him.”
“What is happening in our nation surrounding the protests and riots is a serious issue,” she said. “However, the facts of the incident in Minnesota that triggered the public’s outcry are vastly different than the facts in our case at hand.”
