Yes, you can play technicality and semantics that he wasn’t actually choked until his brain died, but you cannot spin the fact the cop choked him and move that is not allowed by policy and that that choking contributed to his death... unless of course you are going to now go try to argue the coroners office faked the autopsy results for some grand conspiracy.
Thus the no bill from the grand jury.
Anyone who watches the video can see the exact moment Eric has the heart attack. I contend he would of had the heart attack regardless of the fact that he was put in a headlock for 15 seconds and was released one second after saying he couldn't breathe.
The fact is, he resisted arrest. Then the police did exactly what the protesters have been asking! Then used NON LETHAL means to arrest him! The fact the the fat guy had a heart attack while they were employing those means to subdue him is not relevant.
