A white Chicago police officer was videotaped allegedly choking and suffocating a black suspect.
In the video, the officer in question has one hand over the suspect's mouth and his other hand appears to be on the suspect's neck.
Lying flat on his back, the suspect flails his legs and tries to break free.
When a bystander tried to pulled the officer's hands off the suspect, a second officer lunged at her, while swinging his fists.
Another female onlooker was so outraged, she screamed, "You chokin' him! Somebody dial 911! You chokin' him!"
Toward the end of the video, a male voice can be heard saying, "Hey! What are you doing to that boy?"
The footage concludes with the sounds of sirens approaching the scene.
Chicago News Report asked a veteran police officer to review this video and she said it appears the officer is trying to keep the suspect from swallowing narcotics.
The officer also said she does not believe the cop was trying to choke the suspect.
Thus far, the person who provided this video hasn't returned our emails. If we get more information, this article will be updated, immediately.
I really can't even tell what's going on in that video and SURE as H can't tell what they're saying. Just sounds like a bunch of yelling to me. And I know ebonics.
ReplyDeleteWhy are there never any videos of a White victim of supposed "police brutality"?
Job Opening! Just get the checkbook out now Rahm. Make it payable to: random black guy, and in the memo write: FTP
ReplyDeleteBuy that man a Miller!
ReplyDeletenow THIS will get media coverage and spark outrage. the attacks going the other way on the north side? misunderstandings.
ReplyDelete^However, the video will never be available. Another issue with that fiasco is if a cop wasn't involved in the beatings, they would have never even been captured and that "misunderstanding" involving "just transient youth" would have never even made the news.
ReplyDeleteWtf.... Black kids are stealing iPhones every day and still none of them can take a decent video.
ReplyDeleteWhat a crappy video....damn obama phones.
ReplyDeletecrappy video...cop doing his job..and a bunch of idiots standing around yelling...cop probably felt threatened
ReplyDeleteFuck it !!!! The officer was just doing his job.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, you can't see anything from that video, so how can you say "the officer in question has one hand over the suspect's mouth...?" Crappy reporting.
ReplyDeleteSecond, the officer is doing one of two things, either keeping the mutt from spitting on him or trying to keep the mutt from swallowing dope. He is NOT trying to choke the man to death in full view of dozens of witnesses. You Monday morning reporters make a lot of assumptions from blurry, incomprehensible videos.
Finally, the color of the officer's skin means nothing. White, black or brown, he is an officer of the law being threatened and surrounded by a bunch of chimps hootin' and hollerin' and causing mayhem. You can see why so many police officers could care less about this city - nobody gives a crap about them doing their jobs.
These amateur videographers edit the videos or omit key elements in order to make their point of "Raycissmz"
ReplyDeleteMemo:
ReplyDeleteTo: Da popo.
Next time just 'pop a cap in his azz.'
I wish the cops would choke and beat more people! I know I couldnt last a week having to put up with the BS they experience.
ReplyDeletecould be dope case, offender holding the drugs in his mouth, trying to swallow? OT: I wish my girlfriend would swallow. FML
ReplyDeleteLMAO
ReplyDeleteIt's a low res cameraphone video shot using a 'sepia' filter! Just, you know, to be artistic.
Personally, I think it ruins the verite feel the director was attempting to instill in his work. Thumbs down.
