Yeah, killing a guy with a banned chokehold that is against nypd procedure is acceptable to quite a few people.
Union goons, badge worshipping morons, and those conditioned to accept such behavior as “okay” and “within reason”.

In before the badge worshippers.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Remember the name: NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo.
-We’ll see how long he remains on desk duty. That’s his only punishment, I’m betting.

Apparently, there are exceptions. One article I read said the policy has been modified several times since 1993. Also, the autopsy results haven’t been released yet.

I don’t think the chokehold killed Mr. Garner, but I believe that the autopsy will show that his prone position on the sidewalk resulted in either his heart being unable to beat or he had a lung collapse and died that way...
