Those officers’ lives were not in danger due to the actions of Garner. The choke hold appears to be excessive force to me, whether policy permitted or not. He protested numerous times that he could not breathe prior to losing consciousness for the last time. Resisting arrest is not a capital offense, last I checked. The offense for which he was being arrested was or should have been a misdemeanor. The actions of police were completely out of proportion to the situation at hand and this man died because of it. That there will be no legal consequence is astonishing, I agree.

It’s not a choke.

It’s a simple headlock.

He isn’t constricting the man’s windpipe with either arm.
