| SocialistSlayer said: sure ccontinue posting false reporting. i dont care. coroner stated there was no damage to the throat, but there was hemeraging on the sides of the neck wear the arteries are at The “Chokehold.” At issue in this case is the so-called “chokehold” used by Pantaleo. Chokeholds have been banned by the NYPD entirely since 1993; chokeholds are typically defined as holds that prevent people from breathing. Thanks to the video showing Garner stating that he cannot breathe, many pundits have wrongly suggested that Pantaleo was “choking” Garner by depriving him of air from his windpipe. Bratton himself suggested that Pantaleo used a “chokehold,” which is defined by the NYPD as “any pressure to the throat or windpipe, which may prevent or hinder breathing or reduce intake of air.” Thatdoes not appear to have been the case. Garner did not die of asphyxiation, as the head of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association noted at the time. The preliminary autopsy showed no damage to Garner’s windpipe or neck bones. So what was Pantaleo doing? He was applying a submission hold, which is not barred by the NYPD, and is designed to deprive the brain of oxygen by stopping blood flow through the arteries. So say the experts on submission holds |
Lol, multiple reputable sources and you just brush is aside as "false reporting" because you don't agree with it. Even talking about asphyxiation, when I showed you that a murder only has to be bodily harm that results in death. And, in order to cut off someone's airway (or bloodway) you don't have to damage the windpipe (do you have to mangle a straw to prevent fluid from going through it?) And your own link from the NY Post talks about submission holds, suck as headlocks. Does this look like a headlock to you?:
A headlock locks..well...the head, not the throat, like in the above. You're not gonna say "I can't breathe" if someone puts you in a headlock. But I see there's no getting to you. I'm done here.
