Re: No Indictment in Chokehold Death
Manslaughter sounds about right.
Were their actions illegal? Mr. Chokehold used a hold that is barred. Is it against the law or is it an employment rule? Based on what they did and what happened, did the cops have a reasonable expectation that he would die? Were they trying to cause him serious bodily harm? My answer to that question is no, they weren't. You?
Many people are acting as if the cops were intentionally trying to kill him -- or, at the very least, injure him. They were not. Was proper procedure for a no-warrant arrest followed? I don't think so. This was a cluster****. A man is dead who shouldn't be. Somebody(ies) should lose their jobs. Should someone go to jail for 10 years? I don't think so.
