I know that skateboarding is not illegal obviously where this situation took place.
But the officer has other equipment on him such as mase, taser, or baton. That he could've used. I've done all the training in that field in the military as force security. There's steps to follow. And I know that perhaps he was under stress and just doing what he thought at the time was the correct action to do.
But he should be punished for using choke hold on the kids though. What if he had apply too much pressure and collapsed the kid's trachea and they die on the scene. It didn't happen but it could've. If he had just sprayed one kid with the mase then I'm sure the rest would be like fuck that I'm not getting sprayed so I'll sit here and comply.
I rather be kicked in the balls for ten mins straight then to be sprayed with mase/oc myself again.
