No, it was not.
The cop had no leverage to press either side of the neck to such an extent to cause the man to lose consciousness.
That type of choke puts you out in about 2 seconds flat.
So, if he was out, how was he saying that he can’t breathe?
Answer? He wasn’t out, because he wasn’t being choked.
It shocking how easily pushed people are.
Obama’s job in starting this crap is so easy.
What a bunch of fools in this country.
Fools.
You're going to sit here and claim that the cop behind garner isn't at least trying to do the what the top picture is demonstrating? Its called a rear lateral head restraint, it is a type of choke, as I said before. It pinches off the blood supply when done correctly. It can also restrict or cut off air supply when done incorrectly. I will never understand people on this site claiming to be conservative, but defending government agents killing people or contributing to their death, whether on purpose or accidentally over petty offenses. You can claim up and down that garner was resisting arrest, but most everyone realizes arresting someone for selling loose cigarettes is absurd. I do however, expect the absurd in new york, but not on this site. Also, the cop choking garner is doing a poor job of it, notice his arm position, he is more likely than not pulling across garner's wind pipe as his elbow is not centered enough.
