Man Choked, Arrested at Occupy San Diego
I think the cops did a remarkable job. If you do not obey a command as the police are trying to arrest you "put your hands behind your back" then you act like an idiot and began to curse, yell and say no no no, then yes the cops have every right to use a "choke hold" on you to get you to comply. What this video shows is the cops doing their job, not beating anyone, no extra punches, it shows them arresting and being as professional as possible under the circumstances given and with incredible restraint. The video shows the arrestee and other protesters being jerks yelling and filming the cops. While I agree with the aspects of Occupy Wallstreet I am left wondering what does this have to do with San Diego....The cities are powerless to do anything...The protesters should be at the state capital or Washington DC, those 2 places is where this needs to start. If you act like a jerk then the cops have every right to do what they need to do within the law to affect an arrest, simple as that, you act like a jerk you get treated like a jerk.— November 14, 2011 7:18 a.m.
