Good man.

Damn. He was 64. What a champ.

This’s so sad, I used to get on the metro at that station

Just to corroborate that it’s official: https://mobile.twitter.com/wmata/status/1621223563159117826

I am really saddened by this...

A true public servant.

I salute you, Mr. Cunningham.

Holy shit that story is terrifying. He really was a hero. Died trying to save others.

Mechanics > cops

Doin' great, DC.

Would be nice to live somewhere where no one has to do this bc deranged people can't easily get guns.

I am just watching DC turn into NYC crime rate.

I can’t read article as it’s behind a paywall, but an interesting fact is as a cop I can’t utilize a chokehold to subdue someone and would likely be charged with a crime for using one. I could only use a chokehold if I was in a position to use deadly force and it was my only option.

Hero. Truly

> As Isaiah Trotman trained his gun on a woman in the Potomac Avenue Metro station last week, a 64-year-old Metro mechanic sneaked up behind him and put him in a chokehold, according to a newly released account filed in court on Tuesday.

If cops would stop killing people with chokeholds, society wouldn’t have to make it illegal.

Is a gunman shooting people not reason enough to use deadly force? I don’t think civilians are often in a position where they’re dishing out chokeholds for no reason and it not qualifying as assault.

We should be so lucky. NYC crime rate is lower than ours.

Died a hero

The random nature of this is alarming:

pretty sure an active shooter is reason enough to use deadly force lmao cops aren’t allowed to use chokeholds because they keep choking people out during traffic stops

How often do you think that happens
