Las Vegas Police Put Man In a Chokehold For Selling Water Without License

According to reports, a young man was arrested in Las Vegas for selling cold bottled water to thirsty tourists.

Speaking as a "thirsty tourist," we appreciate this man! There is so much heat in Las Vegas during the summer that you pray to see someone selling water. That's also besides the point because there was no reason that police should've been so harsh with him!

Police has been apparently cracking down on unlicensed street vendors, and this man was allegedly selling without a license.

You can clearly hear him telling the police "I can't breathe" as one cop tightens the chokehold around his neck and then you hear the cop say, "quit resisting."

Take a look at the video above.

The video was posted on Facebook with the following description:

"BTW this particular incident happened in 2013. Jimmy is ok and is suing the lvmpd.

This video is someone I know. Jimmy Williams was exercising his right to support himself and/or his family. He was selling water in Las Vegas on a hot day. Do you still think you are free? Do you still think Police are your friends? This is what promoters, water sellers, smut peddlers etc go through everyday on the Las Vegas Strip trying to make a living and trying to put smiles on peoples faces. You have the right to pursue happiness. Whatever that is do it as long as ye harm no one. The police are nothing but a domestic terrorist organization. More people need to wake up. Its not easy. Waking up is hard to do especially when you have been indoctrinated. Rebirth is relearning what you have been taught. Life is not butterflies and crayons. Its not going to be pretty. Its going to a long lonely road but I for one would rather die standing up than to comply. Tis better to burn out than it is to fade cause rust never sleeps."
