Am I the only person who knows that the hold was not a “choke hold”?

They don't care. In their minds, cops aren't allowed to use physical force to effect an arrest. There's a lot of BS floating around about there being a bunch of cops going after him. The thing is - they are a bunch of cops, not a single individual. They're not allowed to do the kinds of things that would put the guy down past, such as whaling away at him with nightsticks. In that interval, he could have put any of the cops through a glass window, potentially causing exsanguination (bleeding out) through the severing of an artery or landed on one of the cops in exactly the wrong way, causing head or spinal injuries or worse. This is a 400lb guy. He's as strong as a lot of weightlifters.

...

To some people, like libertarians and anarchists, the police shouldn’t be allowed to exist.
