We're the Only Ones Getting You All Choked Up Enough

Police beat teen on tape? [More]
The famous "Only Ones" paradox: The only charge is "resisting arrest." I wasn't aware that a hand over the mouth while the forearm is wrapped around the throat was a standard technique.

Maybe it's a "distraction suffocation".

Once the boy was subdued, on the ground, handcuffed, and frisked, raising up his arms only serves to induce pain, possibly dislocating his shoulders. These officers were seeking more than control over him.

Time for the psych evals. Oh wait a minute, this Chicago. Time for commendations.
