When In Doubt, Choke Him Out

|

It's on video. James Anders stands there in handcuffs while Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, police Cpl. Bill Cosby chokes him unconscious. A grand jury has indicted Cosby on charges of assault and perjury. Cosby claims he believed Anders had marijuana in his mouth and was just trying to keep him from swallowing it. There was no marijuana in Anders' mouth. The tape also shows another officer standing next to the two, doing nothing to stop Cosby. No word on what happened to him.
