Pantaleo didn’t put his arm around his neck until Garner almost put him through a window. And Pantaleo didn’t squeeze any harder than to keep Garner under control. There was no damage to the trachea or the hyoid bone, and Garner remained conscious until well after Pantaleo let go of him. That’s why the grand jury didn’t indict.
