Do You Want This To Happen To Your Child?

Cop places his goddamn knee on a girl's neck.

It appears that the Kenosha Police haven't learned their lesson. The very same community that allowed a white cop shoot Jacob Blake, leaving him paralyzed. The same community that allowed a white nationalist to shoot three protesters walk free like he's a hero. A damn shame that Wisconsin is still dealing with this shit.

There was an incident that involved an off-duty cop pressing his knee on the neck of a 12-year old girl at Lincoln Middle School. The cop, Shawn Guetschow resigned but still faces an investigation into why he would put his goddamn knee on the neck of a girl. Given that George Floyd's death set off a wave of protest and calls for justice, why on earth is the cops still using that move.

They learned this move from the Israeli government. The Israeli government has trained police officers in the United States on how to deal with suspects in a brutal way. The knee on the neck is usually used when the Israeli police and military forces remove protesters and families from their homes to clear way for the establishment of settlements in the West Bank.

The U.S. is given these techniques to handle unrest. The law never used these moves on the trucker protesters. They never used these moves on Washed Up 45 supporters who threaten to harm individuals who don't support the former president. They don't use these moves on the insurrectionists. They only use these moves on Black suspects and protests against police shootings.

The very same fools who complain about President Joe Biden being responsible for crime are the same ones who won't keep semi-automatic firearms out the hands of terrorists. The very same folks who play on culture wars and distractions to ignore their failure to handle criminality. They often use the word "crime" in their Lee Atwater playbook.

Kenosha is no different. The county sheriff is a Republican. The county voted for Washed Up 45 twice.

Anyway, Kenosha Police are distancing themselves from this.

The Kenosha Unified School District released a redacted video of the lunch hour fight between students and the subsequent chokehold.

The father Jerrel Perez, the girl's father, has called for the school to release the footage. He demands that the cop be charged with criminal assault. The state of Wisconsin outlawed chokeholds last year.

The incident started when Perez's daughter was confronted by another student. She pushes the other student and the brawl begins. Almost immediately, Guetschow, 37, pulls the other student off Perez's daughter, before falling to the ground and striking his head on the cafeteria table.

Then the cop restrains the Perez's daughter by pushing her head into the ground and placing her in a chokehold restraint for roughly 25 seconds, using his knee on the girl's neck. The officer then handcuffs the girl and walks her out the cafeteria.

There is a lawsuit pending against the city police, the district and the cop. The attorney speaking on behalf of Perez's daughter said that the incident left a stain on the community and traumatized the girl.

The cop resigned from his job as security for the school district. The school district did ban him from property.

In a letter he blasted the school district for lack of support and the incident sparked death threats towards him and his family.

"Given the events that have taken place and the escalated attention this incident at Lincoln Middle School has caused in the community, mental and emotional strain it has brought upon my family, and the lack of communication and or support I have received from the district, I can no longer continue my employment with the Kenosha Unified School District."

He still works for the Kenosha Police. The police have not launched an investigation into him but they have placed him on administrative leave pending an outcome from the state if they're a possible grand jury hearing.

So I ask you this question.... Would you want this done to your child?
