Illinois authorities released the dashcam footage of a traffic stop incident in which they say an officer was attacked and strangled until the point he “lost the ability to breathe.”
Before being strangled, the unidentified officer was struck repeatedly in the head and body on the evening of June 21 before one of the vehicle’s passengers applied “significant force to his windpipe,” causing him to lose the ability to breathe, the Aurora Illinois Police Department said in a statement late on Wednesday.
