White Mobile Cop Caught on Video Putting a Non-Resisting Black Man in a Chokehold & His Hands Around His Neck Quits the Force. Race Soldier was Named Officer of the Month Twice

From [HERE] AND [HERE] Officer Blake Duke has submitted his resignation Friday while under investigation for an off-duty incident, according to Mobile Police.

Duke was placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday. Mobile Police Department did not offer details on why.

In February, Duke was placed on desk duty during an administrative investigation into the actions captured on cellphone video during the arrest of Howard Green, Jr. The video filmed by a witness shows Officer Duke grabbing 53-year-old Howard Green Jr. in what appears to be a chokehold. When the video picks up, officers are on top of Green. Once he’s under control and being walked to the car, Officer Duke is seen pushing Green forward. Green’s face hits the side of the car. Then Duke applies the hold.

According to witnesses, a traffic stop led to this incident. Mobile Police Chief Lawrence Battiste said Howard Green mentioned he was going to spit on Officer Duke.

The video has been watched and shared thousands of times on social media.

“Next thing you know they (police) just pulled the man over and slammed him. I’m talking about slammed him,” a witness said.

The witnesses who were recording the video tell Duke they’re recording, and he threatens to arrest them.
