Bottom line, the officer did not use a ‘choke hold’. The method he used was taught in the academy.

“During his testimony before the grand jury, Pantaleo denied using a chokehold on Garner, saying he applied “a takedown move as he was taught in the [Police] Academy,” London said.”

“He testified in the grand jury that he utilized the techniques that he was trained with in the police academy,” Pantaleo’s attorney, Stuart London, told CBS2’s Kramer. “He was attempting to do a take-down move, which he was taught in the academy. He never intended to apply any force to the individual’s neck, and any contact with the neck was incidental.”

Why do we bother with trials of anybody? Just ask the plaintiff for his opinion.

Questions of fact are for a jury to decide. Sure looked like a choke hold to my eyes.

I wouldn’t bet everything on it, but I believe it’s possible that Obama and Holder somehow manipulated this decision to keep their race narrative alive.
