chokeholds are illegal because this kind of thing can happen, if the chokehold caused his death then this cop should have been charged with manslaughter or reckless endangerment.

Garner was very obese, and had asthma. He physically resisted arrest. There was no damage to his trachea or the bones in his neck, and was conscious after he was taken down, so I don’t think the officer caused his death.
That is exactly my take on it.
