Man Choked, Arrested at Occupy San Diego
"No, no, no, f--k you," is pretty explicitly resisting arrest. I find it hard to believe that my fellow readers fail to see how the methods used by the police in this situation were both reasonable and less than lethal. In a situation where a suspect is placed under arrest, the officers must restrain the suspect and search him to make sure he does not have anything he could use to harm himself or the officers. Police are trained to restrain the suspect by using minimal force necessary, which can be observed in the video. The vascular neck hold clearly did not obstruct the suspect's airway as he continues to shout and resist arrest following its application. Both that neck hold and the positioning of the suspect's arms behind his back and above his head are designed to prevent him from injuring himself or any law enforcement officer.— November 13, 2011 5:54 a.m.
