I don't see any choking

I mean surely he didn't just walk over and choke slam a random journalist right? What's the context?

Yea i suppose you could say that if you weren't tasked with protecting the president of a leading nation from threats. Sounds like he got overly aggressive in a place he clearly shouldn't have and the SS agent neutralized a perceived threat. Maybe he should have placed the reporter in a different hold but I don't think it was like he was trying to cause grievous injuries

If I bucked and said fuck yooou to a secret service agent at this type of event then i would expect that treatment. You buck at me anywhere and say those words YOU can expect that treatment.

Oh that's the one and only qualifying factor, thanks doc. Mind if I see your degree?

Oh I didn't realize that this man died from this. /s

Why are you so upset? The reporter provoked a physical response from another human being with disrespect and threatening posture. He knows this man is trained to act accordingly to being physically threatened. The reporter is only human after all and humans although "created equal" as you say, humans do not react in equal measure to all things regardless of circumstance. This is at it's base form, is a man disrespecting another man verbally and posturing himself threateningly toward him. That other man reacted accordingly, within his training to non-lethaly subdue the threat.

Are you trolling or do you think that having your opinions logically debated warrants name-calling? Which one of us is a bitch? The one getting mad that someone has valid points on an internet forum? Or the one with perfectly reasonable points that take into account the fact humans knowingly bring violent confrontation upon themselves like this reporter? Again, the reporter did not step on the SS guy's shoe in a gas station. He did this at a place where his actions are highly inappropriate.

You keep saying psychopath, but I don't think you know what that is. I'd like to see you present the evidence that makes me a psychopath as it is defined. I am created equal as you, no? Could you not resort to calling names and trying to make completely unfounded personal attacks? It makes your case weaker when you do this.

That was not lethal force. Clearly non-lethal. Also, you did call me names. You called me a bitch lol so...why u lyin

let me refresh your memory on the side-bar - "This subreddit is a thinking ground. Above all else, we respect everyone's opinions[...] This is a forum for free thinking, not hate speech. Respect other views and opinions, and keep an open mind."

Do you have footage of the actual physical choke? I feel like you are very adamant about how bad this was, as if the intent was to kill this man, but from this little clip it doesn't look like he had any substantial injuries nor was that the intent.

They showed the journalist grab the agents neck on the corporate news I watched. The corporate news is very pro authoritarianism, therefore they always side with the cop/authority figure.

A fouled mouth long haired tribal journalist lipped off to the wrong sociopath and got bitten...he's lucky he didn't get neutered. SS agents aren't the cream at the top...they are the failure puss that sits at the bottom...

the photographer 'grabbed' the agent's throat in protest of what the thug agent had done, he didn't threaten the man, the thug grabbed him & threw him on the floor.

edit: watch the video from the beginning.
