http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/...A3R0EN20140428 (Reuters) - A sheriff in Tennessee fired an officer after a British newspaper published photographs on Sunday that showed him choking a handcuffed college student until he lost consciousness. The photographs published by online edition of the Daily Mail showed an unidentified officer appearing to throttle 21-year-old Jarod Dotson, while two fellow officers handcuffed the student's hands behind his back, after arresting him at a party near the University of Tennessee, in Knoxville. The student did not appear to show any sign of resistance, while the officer, later identified as 47-year-old Frank Phillips, held him by the neck until he collapsed to his knees. John Messner, the Knoxville photographer who took the pictures, described to the Mail how the officer then slapped Dotson around the head a few times before walking off. Knox County Sheriff Jimmy "J.J." Jones said in a written statement that Phillips was found by department investigators to have used excessive force during the arrest on Saturday night. "In my 34 years of law enforcement experience, excessive force has never been tolerated," Jones said in the statement, posted on the Knox County Sheriff's Department website. "After an investigation by the Office of Professional Standards, I believe excessive force was used in this incident," the sheriff said. Jones said that Phillips had been terminated with immediate effect and that the investigation would be turned over to the Knox County Attorney General's Office to determine if any charges should be filed. Phillips had been with the Sheriff's Office since 1992. "This incident provides a perfect example of why we are in the process of purchasing officer-worn body cameras (video and audio recordings) so incidents like this will be fully documented," the sheriff concluded. Dotson was charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest. He was released from jail on $500 bond Sunday morning. He was among several party-goers arrested, when law enforcement personnel were summoned to a party, attended by a reported 800 revelers, that had turned unruly and spilled onto the streets. Beer bottles were thrown at officers when they arrived at the scene, according to local media reports. No comment was available from University of Tennessee spokesmen, the university police department or from various student organizations Sunday evening. |

It's that fucking rap music shit!
I knew when white guys started listening to it they were going to get beat up and choked. If they would just play some country and western in their cars we wouldn't have all these problems in society. :1orglaugh |
Why offer excuses for the cops behavior?
Here's what I think happened. The kid obeyed every single order given to him by every officer and one of them was a fucking cock holster and choked him for no reason. This shit happens. You can see it happening. |
Cop was fired. Awesome. Hopefully, he'll take his own life. A lot of cops do. But not before ruining what is left of his life, turning into a drunk, and being left totally alone after his wife and kids disown him. Then after about a decade or two of misery, he puts a single bullet into his own head.

I am happy he was fired and that the story made the news. There are lots of good decent cops out there who don't make news. Actually, come to think of it I remember a video posted here on gfy some time ago (via youtube) that showed a very patient officer giving a man a ticket and handling his 'tantrum' in a very light and professional way. I though he was a model cop. |
Cant believe he was fired. Usually they get paid vacation for a while until they are finally proven innocent of all wrong doing.
