The police system in the US is utterly broken and the cops protected - no matter what they do, including murder. The testament to that conclusion is this thread - and there are a number of cases out there we haven't even discussed.
I'm not sure it's illegal here.
I do know it takes skill and training to apply it properly. I talked to someone who used to do full contact fighting as a hobby, not as a sport. His favorite take down was the choke hold. I asked him to do it on me. Within two seconds the room started going dark. Done improperly, it is a method of killing. The choke hold in the video is one done very improperly, given the demo and explanation on myself. Possibilities: the cop is poorly trained or he is actually trying to hurt or kill the guy. Seems to me the city should get sued for some big bucks.
