I don't see it as a tough call when the boy said more than once "I cant breathe", what do you want, its obvious that it was a petty crime, and a man is dead. how can that be a tough call? did you see the video? as a poster said. choke holds have been banned since "93' it was to me an easy call. he should have been indicted, the evidence is the video,
I worry that when someone says this is an easy call it is a sign of a pre-determined agenda. No matter, the police have to have some leeway in every confrontation. They have to protect themselves and oftentimes it comes down to a matter of interpretation as to the degree of the cop's use of force.
