It's about time. And they should be banned across the entire US, along with prone positioning after handcuffing.

It IS about time!
Many police departments have banned "chokeholds" and other neck restraints already.

Good, now can they ban shooting people who are running away unarmed, and shooting people for petty offenses??
If I can't shoot someone for Jaywalking, how can they??

The system is designed to let them get away with it.

Quote:Signym, shut the fuck up. There are 700,000 full time law enforcement officers and 1,000 illegal killings by officers per year. That leaves about 699,000 "good" officers, but the problem is the "bad" officers, who should be stopped from killing anybody. A similar situation once existed: 4,743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968 in the United States, including 3,446 African Americans and 1,297 whites, meaning a very small percent of Americans were lynched or did the lynching, but nobody should have been lynched, just exactly like no police officers should be executing people.

Because as I read it, REAVER is saying that MOST cops like to beat up and kill people. "Most" would mean a majority, 50% +1. You're saying that the number of bad cops is a very small part of the overall total.

Quote:Signym, you know two good police officers and one bad officer ("complete a-hole" is your description). That is 33.3% bad. If America's entire police force of 700,000 followed that ratio, we'd have about 233,000 executions of prisoners by the police per year. If the number of bad police was 50%+1 (your numbers, again) we'd have about 350,001 executions per year. Fortunately, the policing situation hasn't gotten that ridiculously terrible because the number of bad police officers is small, but that small number is very deadly.

It's actually quite brilliant.
Second, through use of his sockpuppet Marcos, is able to exponentially ramp up his hypocrisy and self-contradictions by pretending that he's two different people now.
