    What I want @NYPDONeill and @NYCMayor to explain is that if this is not a chokehold, what is it? What even is a chokehold? Because every casual fan of MMA knows exactly what Officer Daniel Pantaleo has applied right here. It's a fully applied chokehold.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1115608600372707328 …

    This week we learned that the Chief Surgeon of the NYPD said that what you see in this image is NOT a chokehold. He wants you to ignore your eyes and instead believe him. I recorded THIS podcast as a response: LISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nypds-chief-surgeon-lies-says-eric-garner-was-never/id1457725100?i=1000434440138 … or here: https://www.stitcher.com/s?eid=59912604  pic.twitter.com/eX8vSHGTZo

        And how arrogant is NYPD to think having their own shill surgeon is a greater credentials than our own eyeballs. If this is the conclusion despite video, what does this say about all the city/state coroners reports that always seem to support cops?

        They can quibble over semantics all damn day; when a person's airway is cut off, it can and often leads to cardiac arrest. They killed that man, period.

        If the community cannot even share an objective reality with law enforcement officers then how can we feel safe to dial 911 to #SeeSomethingSaySomething?

        Question one: is the officer holding him? Answer: Yes. Question two: is the officer choking him? Answer: Yes. Holding + Choking = chokehold. Oh wait! I get it... We need to say it backwards... It's not a chokehold... it's a holdchoke. 😒

        I remember this case it pissed me off because not only was it a choke old confirmed by three doctors who watched it with me, but the delay in CPR by the sorry EMS who came on the scene then the officer smiling in the camera after it was all over and done
