Either way, the cop definitely did not need to do all of that. It seemed he had the kid under control with the initial choke.
Isnt the choke hold illegal itself?
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Police in California are not allowed to use chokeholds, but certain departments allow officers to subdue a suspect with a technique called carotid restraint.
In a split second, it's hard to tell the difference between a chokehold and a carotid restraint. Yet the effects are very different. A chokehold cuts off the windpipe. A carotid restraint involves squeezing the arteries.
Krav Maga Extreme owner and instructor Gaby Gliksman started martial arts training as a child. He now works with local police officers. He considers any move involving someone's neck highly skilled, requiring careful training and supervision.
"You can put somebody out in a few seconds," said Gliksman.
He demonstrated a chokehold, which involves an arm across someone's windpipe.

I noticed they had slowed the clip down but wasn't sure if they had slowed the audio to match. If not, that isn't helping put things together.
And no, I wouldn't think so. We have entire shopping centers here that are no skate zones and usually just tell them to get off and walk. If they're defacing/destroying property or endangering people, that's different.

Why would an officer delete video from personal phones that recorded his actions?
