It’s a chokehold. That’s the generic term of lock around the neck. Now legions of lemmings declare no such thing exists. Parsing words and claiming well “trachea not damaged” is utterly laughable. Damage to the neck and body by compression. I guess that was just the invisible Steinway grand piano that landed out of the sky no one saw?...haha
Pantaleo Hooked his right arm underneath Garner’s right arm. Before pulling Garner back to take him down, Pantaleo moved his left hand so that it was pulling at the top of Garner’s chest on the left side. That isn’t a chokehold and it’s all available to see in the video. Pantaleo explained all this to the grand jury and that’s why he wasn’t indicted.
