Last I heard, choke holds are illegal. They were made illegal because too many people were dying after choke holds.

Many cops are criminals, with a badge.

We’re joined by Rinku Sen, publisher of Colorlines.com and president of the Applied Research Center, which launched the the “Drop the I-Word” campaign in 2010 in order to remove the term “illegals” from everyday use and public discourse.
