Yeah...totally an accident.

Yes, it was possibly an accident: was the cop aware of Garner's health problems? A chokehold isn't automatically fatal, doesn't restrict air passage, and Garner's health issues played a role. This is not a case of a police officer choking someone to death i.e. restricting air flow as some might be mislead to believe. It's a little more complicated.
