If you didn’t like the social contract, you shouldn’t have signed it.

Hey – don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time, lawbreaker. Thank God we have our thin, blue line out there, putting their lives on the line EVERY day, to protect and serve man….

Naw, naw, naw, it wasn’t a ‘chokehold’, it was a ‘vascular restraint hold’. See a VRH simply cuts off the blood to you head and the choking is just something that happens. Compare to a chokehold where the choking is the *point* and cutting off blood flow to the head is a side effect.

See? Totally different.
