Welcome to the New York, where the police officers are called “the finest in the world,” but they still resort to the tried and proven primitive method of choking people inorder to restrain them.
After a Staten Island man named Eric Gardner, lost his life to an illegal cholehold administered by a police officer, other examples of this police-favored submission hold, have been highlighted on the Internet.
In this example, a woman in Brooklyn, seven months pregnant, got up close and personal with her very own chokehold. Her crime? Having a barbecue on the sidewalk in front of her house.
Photos released Monday by an East New York advocacy group show Rosan Miller, 27, struggling with a cop who appears to have his arm around her neck.
