  1. Cops need to learn a new profession this one is with sence humanity. You need to protect. Prevent. Crime this means investigare financial. Fraud Crime. Not to Provocate innocent people.

  2. Only thing I see wrong here is the fact that this made the news. I presume to add fuel to the fire and boost viewership.

  3. What choking? Their hands were no where near his neck. The arrest was also justified because he grabbed a potential weapon and squared up, they were simply neutralizing him before he could do anything stupid. Him being suspended is stupid, he did nothing wrong. How was he supposed to know he was asthmatic, all they knew was there was a potential dangerous threat, and they needed to defend themselves, and don’t say that they should have asked him, because that would just be stupid.
