Eric Garner died as a result of neck compression from a chokehold that is banned by the New York City Police Department.... According to Reuters, a departmental investigation will most likely focus on whether Pantaleo indeed employed a chokehold that is banned by New York Police Department.

Radio host Don Imus made a brilliant observation in an interview with NYPD Commissioner William Bratton that aired this morning. I'm paraphrasing here, but it was something like this:

IMUS: "What exactly did the police do wrong in that situation?"

BRATTON: "We haven't jumped to any conclusions, and the investigation is ongoing."

IMUS: "Then how do you know the police officers need to be retrained?"
