[QUOTE="The Barbarian, post: 77669309, member: 7989"] From what I've been able to see, it's the "thin blue line" rule that says cops always back up other cops. So often, decent cops don't stop or report the few criminals among them. But thanks in part to the ubiquity of cell-phone cameras, that's starting to change. On particularly egregious case was recently reversed in favor of a police officer fired for stopping a thug from choking a handcuffed suspect: [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Former Buffalo, New York police officer Cariol Horne said she has never stopped believing in the justice system. A judge recently ruled her department pension be reinstated despite an abrupt firing 15 years ago. "I did think this day would come, that's why I kept fighting," she told CBS News' Jericka Duncan. Horne was dismissed after she tried to break up a confrontation involving a chokehold between a White officer and a Black man in 2006. She made headlines after she tried to stop fellow officer Greg Kwiatkowski from choking a suspect named Neal Mack. Horne says she was struck in the face by Kwiatkowski during this time. And after watching George Floyd stop breathing under the knee of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, Horne recalled why she intervened. "Neal Mack looked like he was about to die," she told "CBS This Morning" in June 2020. "So had I not stepped in, he possibly could have. He was handcuffed and being choked." Mack, who also spoke to "CBS This Morning" in the same time period, maintains Horne saved his life. "He was choking me. I was handcuffed. Cariol Horne said, 'You killing him, Greg!' and she reached over and tried to grab his hand around my neck," Mack previously recalled. The mother of five was fired by her department after it found her use of force against a fellow officer was unjustified. She was terminated just months before being eligible to receive her full pension. Greg Kwiatkowski was later sentenced to four months in federal prison in 2018 for using "unlawful and unreasonable force" against four Black teenagers. In October of last year the city's mayor signed the Duty to Intervene law, which would require police to step in if a fellow officer uses excessive force. Horne helped craft the legislation and has been pushing for it since 2016. "We don't want other officers to go through what I've gone through, but we don't want other victims to go through what George Floyd went through," she said.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cbsnews.com/news/former-buffalo-officer-cariol-horne-2006-chokehold/[/URL] Duty to Intervene should be a federal law, and strictly enforced.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
