Just got done discussng this with a retired LEO while on a call. He said it ended up being a chokehold when they fell to the ground and the NYPD officer appears to tighten his hold.
Made the same comment arou the failure to render aid/assistance after Garner was clearly in some form of distress. Shameful.

Yes, I saw that, but Garner could still breathe and talk after he was down. The coroner didn’t seem to find any damage that would indicate a choke in the medical sense.
