Caught On Camera: Cop Chokes Student Into Unconsciousness

Judging by the disturbing series of photos taken last night, it looks a lot like a thug cop needs to be fired, indicted, arrested, convicted, and incarcerated.

A Knoxville photographer has captured a police officer on camera using what looks like excessive and unnecessary force on a college student.

The sequence of photographs show the young man complying with Knox County deputies as they lead him to a paddy wagon at the University of Tennessee, before an officer uses two hands to choke the student until he is unconscious.

The young man was arrested during a wild college party celebrating after a week of finals that spilled out onto the street on Saturday night.

All the photos can be seen at the Daily Mail
