Absolutely discusting that these things are possible in a "developed" country like the United States.

taking away life seems the perfect punishment for those who take life away.

who's talking about health problems? what they did was absurd and illegal, it doesn't matter if the victim is healthy or not.

give up, they straight up attacked the non agressive man. it could be done by a cop or a hobo and it would be the same.

I'm also not happy with policemen in Germany. They don't seem to have as many right as in USA or so but they still can act like assholes and you can't do much.

Once I got pepper spray in my eyes and I did absolutely nothing. The officer just thought about another guy "ohh, there is a drunken guy doing shit let's spray it directly in the faces of 10 people even if they are just in the same room". And with "directly" I mean aimed at all of us, not just accidentally.

Wonder what would happen if I would spray an officer some pepper spray in the face if someone else in the room would do shit^^

Don't sugar coat a choke hold when it kills you from stopping airflow to the lungs by calling it a "submission hold" or "head lock"

It absolutely was phrohitied. He wrapped his arm directly around the man's neck and proceeded to lock his arm in place, rode him to the ground and did not let go until he was on the ground in the prone and even then he placed his upper body weight onto the man's head onto the pavement. You can even hear in his voice an almost seal like barking sound when he first tries to tell thim he cannot breathe. It is called stridor and is a sign of an acute choking or severe narrowing of the upper airway.  For someone with an overreactive airway as in asthma, occluding or causing even temporary trauma to the airway can lead to laryngospasms and ultimately to death.

And if you are correct in that one is okay over the other (which i have no reason to doubt) that is just rather ridiculous for several reasons.

No.1 the anatomy of the neck is such that the airway and surrounding blood vessels are in such close proximity that occluding one can and usually does occlude the other. For example in CPR or ACLS training you are taught to check the carotid pulse (the artery in the neck) on the side you are on so as to not inadvertently narrow the victims airway. Now, if just pressing two fingers onto someones neck can cause a narrowing of the larynx (and it can) what do you think an entire arm would do?

No.2 Occluding either the airway or the blood vessels "restrict" oxygen.

No.3 If an officer is not competent enough (which they aren't and shouldn't be required to be) to recognize when a person is truly in respiratory distress while they are in his/her custody and get them immediate medical attention (which probably could have saved his life and we wouldn't be talking about this today) then they shouldn't be restricting blood flow or oxygen!

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

well i guess we will have to agree to disagree

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.

I wonder if there is another version of this video that isn't edited. I have watched the same video on 3 different websites. about 6 or 7 seconds after the "chokehold" is put on him, the video stops and restarts from a different perspective. During that timelapse, what happened? Was he release of the chokehold or did it persist? How long was the timelapse? If he was only chokeheld for 12-15 seconds, then you can hardly call the police involved murderers. This seems to be more of an incredible accident than murder. The problem is that even if it is an accident, that does not absolve the police of the result. Nor does it absolve the criminal from not committing the crime to begin with. No crime=No death. I do agree that there still should be some consequence for the whole thing for the police officers involved.
