A lot of people don’t get this. People were talking about choke holds in the Eric Garner case as well. When a 350-400 man resists arrest you don’t have many options. George Floyd wasn’t quite as big but still a big dude, big enough that 3-4 cops couldn’t get him in the back of a cop car while handcuffed. In my younger days I used to bounce on the weekends and in my mind the safest, most effective way to get control of someone who was out of control was to always put them in a headlock. If you put a little squeeze on, they would usually chill the fuck out pretty quickly. It never once crossed my mind that a headlock was life threatening. Once again, the fuck up from the cops came from not helping when Floyd needed help.
