In my agency, a choke hold outside of a deadly force encounter can get you fired.

Also, an actual "choke hold" as taught to LE/Military is applied from behind to constrict arteries to brain on each side of the neck. A frontal grab like this cop used has chance of lethal damage to larynx/pharynx -- it's a thug tactic.

JJ the Sheriff is in middle of election right now -- I'm sure he assumed quicker the better to act on this vote wise, too.

davidmcbeth - you are just a cop hater. this kid obviously baited the cops who were just protecting and serving their community.

those cops have the right to go home at the end of the night to see their family.

that kid could have had a rifle or pressure cooker in his pockets.

Did anybody NOT see the heavy sarcasm in this? I did, and it made me laugh.
