Feds consider probe into CHP beating captured on video, sources say

The U.S. Justice Department is reviewing a request for an independent investigation into the California Highway Patrol officer who was recorded on video punching a woman along the 10 Freeway, an FBI spokeswoman said.

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/law-me-ln-federal-probe-possible-chp-beating-20140731-story.html

If the Feds really come in, and charge the Officer with Violating her Civil (Constitutional) Rights:

It is possible the Officer could be facing two separate trials (State and Federal).

Remember, in this case, in the US: The Federal, and State Governments, are considered SEPERATE Governments, and the Officer is NOT covered under the Constitutional Protections of 'Double Jeopardy'.

Just another difference between the US, and many other Country's.

Thanks CLYDE!

Yes. Know that well. Lived through the Rodney King riots when the police were acquitted in state court in a lily white upper middle income state court house, and then were convicted at the downtown mixed race federal court house.

That's how the cops in the Rodney King beating were tried twice. Poor Rodney got rich then drowned drunk in his pool.

Just so everyone understands:

Although I am not knowledgeable of California Laws. If this Officer is charged, he would probably be charged with an Abuse of Authority Statute, Assault/Battery, and perhaps additional charges.

If the Fed's Prosecute: He would not be Charged under the State Statutes, but Violation of Civil Rights (a Federal Offense), and if convicted, up to 10 years in a Federal Prison.

California Penal code
149. Every public officer who, under color of authority, without
lawful necessity, assaults or beats any person, is punishable by a
fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by imprisonment
in a county jail not exceeding one year, or pursuant to subdivision
(h) of Section 1170, or by both that fine and imprisonment.

Autopsy: Police chokehold caused NYC man's death

By JAKE PEARSON
Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) -- A medical examiner ruled Friday that a police officer's chokehold caused the death of a man whose videotaped arrest and final pleas of "I can't breathe!" sparked outrage and led to the overhaul of use-of-force training for the nation's largest police department.

@Clyde, I thought you said there wasn't a chokehold? If not, how could the medical examiner make the determination it was a cause death?

When someone is really 'Chocking to Death': They can't speak

You seem to be fixated upon the windpipe. That is not the only pipe in the neck that can be "choked" or constricted.

This paragraph is telling from Garys link. Eric Garner, a black man whose confrontation with a white police officer has prompted calls by the Rev. Al Sharpton for federal prosecution, was killed by neck compressions from the chokehold and "the compression of his chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police," city medical examiner spokeswoman Julie Bolcer said.

Asthma, heart disease and obesity were contributing factors in the death of the 43-year-old Garner, a 6-foot-3, 350-pound father of six, she said.

He seems to know rather a lot about choking people to death. Anyone else find this disturbing?

He be me?

LAPD had a rash of chokehold deaths which the news media covered in excruciating detail. Finally chief had to order every officer retrained and retrained again to never use a chokehold on a suspect. It seems people with certain "medical conditions" are especially susceptible to death if a chokehold is used. Also they started to have a rash of in custody deaths of people hogtied and left on their stomach. That is also now forbidden. As is sitting on suspects and compressing their chests. NYPD seems to be at least two decades behind the LAPD in this.

I hope that this cop gets to feel the full force of the law.

Sorry but this thread is way off topic. :(((

I find your posts disturbing.

No. I mean he.

His description seems to be one based on personal experience of watching people choke (on more than one occasion) rather than something he has read up on. I was wondering if it is actually fairly common for police officers to choke people.

Doesn't everybody know about choke and strangle holds? It is the first thing taught in martial training.

Apparently the NYPD has a different definition of the word than the entire rest of the world. A usual method of scoundrels.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chokehold wrote:

A chokehold, choke, stranglehold or, in Judo, shime-waza (Japanese: 絞技; English: constriction technique)[1] is a general term for grappling hold that critically reduces or prevents either air (choking)[2] or blood (strangling) from passing through the neck of an opponent. The restriction may be of one or both and depends on the hold used and the reaction of the victim.

Gary...

Good way to Hi-Jack an important topic with foolishness.

As the OP to this thread Clyde I can see no "Hi-Jack" happening here, though you and Battered Up seem to be trying hard to go off topic. ;-)

Now back to the police brutality.

Thanks for the update Lynn.

Cheers.

Another stop with a twist. Who would be the worst person to throw to the ground.

‘Do You Know Who the F*ck I Am?’ FL Cop Pulls over the Wrong Guy…

Watch the body language of the uniformed officers change as they realize the guy they are piling on is a Lieutenant with internal affairs.
