I'm sure physical stature played a big role in the grand jury's decision. The officer should be disciplined within his department for violating policy. I can't see convicting him of manslaughter though. It was a freak accident and I see big changes coming to law enforcement. I see officers going for their taser before going hands on since tasers are deemed safe. People will still die but it will be written off as technical error.

Policies on LVNR differ from department to department. I've had it done to me a bunch in training and honestly you are never aware that you went to sleep for a few seconds. It only takes a few seconds to put someone to sleep if used correctly.

Choke holds are no longer taught in the academy. We now use lateral vascular neck restraint. It is NOT a choke hold but it does put the person to sleep by cutting off blood flow to the brain.

Just a few weeks ago all that was on the news was Ebola, now it's racial police killing innocent African Americans. I wonder what next year big story will be.
