“The 350-pound man, about to be arrested on charges of illegally selling cigarettes, was arguing with the police. When an officer tried to handcuff him, the man pulled free. The officer immediately threw his arm around the man’s neck and pulled him to the ground, holding him in what appears, in a video, to be a chokehold. The man can be heard saying ‘I can’t breathe’ over and over again as other officers swarm about. Now, the death of the man, Eric Garner, 43, soon after the confrontation on Staten Island, is being investigated by the police and prosecutors. At the center of the inquiry is the officer’s use of a chokehold — a maneuver that was banned by NYPD more than 20 years ago.”
