Fired Buffalo cop tells her side (fired for stopping white colleague from choking a suspect)

http://www.wkbw.com/news/fired-buffalo-cop-id-do-it-again

Former Buffalo Police officer Cariol Horne in a battle to get her pension. She was fired for trying to stop a fellow officer she says was abusing a suspect....

"Gregory Kwiatkowski turned Neal Mack around and started choking him. So then I'm like, 'Greg! You're choking him,' because I thought whatever happened in the house he was still upset about so when he didn't stop choking him I just grabbed his arm from around Neal Mack's neck," said Horne....

"He comes up and punches me in the face and I had to have my bridge replaced," said Horne....

When Horne tried to defend herself other officers pulled her back and her shoulder was injured.
Following the incident, Horne was fired and charged with obstruction for "jumping on officer Kwiatkowski's back and/or striking him with her hands."

with their fucking blue line bullshit, but if you do the right thing you get fired.

END THE MADNESS NOW

Enforce the 2nd amendment, once ALL guns are in locked up militias you can take away guns from almost all cops, we can have it like they do in Britain.

I know this one case has nothing to do with guns, but the overall training of our cops is choke first, ask who they are second.

Shoot first, bother with who you are shooting second.
