re: Officer in Eric Garner case: I never used a choke hold

This is a nonsensical argument. Taken to its logical end, the police can kill anyone they are taking into custody if they resist arrest. Is that really the argument you want to make?

And resisting arrest could involve the simple action of raising your hands to the point that shorter cops can't grab your wrists. Or simply not producing your wrists for handcuffs upon command... which seems to be a civil rights violation / failure to comply as opposed to "resisting".
