    I hate morons like him that thinks he can use any moves he sees is cool in the UFC and try to apply it in real life when it's not even close to life and death.

    blood chokes like this are actually really dangerous, especially done to people who doesn't know what the **** is going on and they panic, hold on for too long can lead to immediate brain damage. These moves should only be done in gyms by trained people and where the partner is given an opportunity to tap, or in a sanctioned environment where a referee to step in.

    there were like 5 people on the guy, what the hell is this dumbass thinking trying to rare naked choke him.

    The cop obviously used excessive force from what I remember of the video. He didn't need to choke him. Also a crime but unfortunately not criminal was how the emts responded. The man was barely breathing and their resuscitation was piss poor and amateur hour.
