KCTV promised police brutality last night and delivered a knee to the throat. KCTV-5's annual police brutality story aired last night with Jedi investigator Ash-har Quraishi bringing us the story of Tim Gilio, who was driving home from his girlfriend's house when he saw cherries. With prior arrests for marijuana possession, DWI and resisting arrest, he knew the drill. He also had six warrants out for his arrest.
But Gilio's arrest took a nasty turn when Lee's Summit police officer John Heil choked Gilio and then kneed him in the throat while he was on the ground. Watch the video and see for yourself.
"You can do all sorts of pressure points, but something like that
could be dangerous and could have killed him," Geoffrey Alpert, a professor of criminology at the University of South Carolina, told Quraishi. "I
don't know how you'd make an argument to be normal, for that activity
to be justified. There's no reason for it. Even if he was fighting,
even if he were wrestling, you don't put a knee in someone's neck."
Lee's Summit defended Heil. Best of all, Heil gets to keep teaching his comrades the ol' knee to the throat move; he's a certified instructor in pressure point control tactics.
As for Gilio, KCTV-5 says he "was arrested again last week on outstanding warrants, including the DWI charge from the stop that night. He's due in court later this month."
Good guy, that Gilio.

The fact is, you can't knee someone in the throat whether you like them or not. I don't like the guy and don't even know him but the again the facts are you can do police brutality. None of us want to be the recipient of this kind of treatment so if we don't stop cowboy idiots like this officer, we are all at risk of getting what he got... guilty or not!
Tim Gilio had no warrants on the night of the "choking" theses warrants that your are referring to was the warrants for that same case on that Dwi after that night!!! Really "Go LSPD and go Heil. Good idea idiot show the rest of the cops its ok to choke a handcuffed man! Sounds like your the one who need to be locked up and kept away from the rest of us!!
