'Let her go! Let her go!' Fontana officer shoots armed man who put his partner in a headlock
Body-camera footage released by the Fontana Police Department shows an officer being put in a headlock during a traffic stop in Yucaipa by a man whom authorities have identified as Alan Metka.
Seconds later, a shout rang out: "He's got a gun!"

What, so the police can put anyone they want in a headlock but we can't headlock back? /s
Seriously though, if it's so threatening to get a cop in a headlock, enough that another cop feels they need to use deadly force to stop it, why are cops allowed to continue restraining someone who fights back against a headlock during an arrest?
Because when a cop is arresting someone, it's not a mutual agreement to be in a fight. It's not a friendly spar or anything like that
"You are under arrest, sir!"
"I disagree, sir!"
"Marquess of Queensbury rules then?"
"Agreed!"
In this particular situation, the use of deadly force was more so triggered by the fact that the guy was lying about having a weapon and then tries to pull said weapon during a search of his person. The headlock was not the key factor here.
people are always wrong and cops are always right, duh.
This implies cops aren't people and honestly I'm OK with that.
I mean realistically blue lives don't exist. Not unless you're talking about those folks from Kentucky
Edit: Bootlickers mad.
They aren't and yet no one treats them like the animals they are.
