LOS ANGELES - s4story -- In The Chokehold, political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson details the controversy over police and civilian use of chokeholds, how the courts, the police, and the public view the use of chokeholds, and the always lurking issue of racial bias in its use. Hutchinson asks, is it a legitimate tactic to protect, or a deadly cause of physical mayhem? The Chokehold confronts that challenging and troubling question.

"The victim's face turns blue as he is deprived of oxygen. He goes into spasmodic convulsions. His eyes rolled back. His body wriggles. His feet kick up and down. His arms move about wildly."
