Bottom line, the officer did not use a ‘choke hold’. The method he used was taught in the academy.
“During his testimony before the grand jury, Pantaleo denied using a chokehold on Garner, saying he applied a takedown move as he was taught in the [Police] Academy, London said.”
He testified in the grand jury that he utilized the techniques that he was trained with in the police academy, Pantaleos attorney, Stuart London, told CBS2s Kramer. He was attempting to do a take-down move, which he was taught in the academy. He never intended to apply any force to the individuals neck, and any contact with the neck was incidental.

Exactly. If the unarmed person is Chuck Norris then I want a howitzer.

What leftist drivel. There are plenty of times when using a weapon against an "unarmed man" is justified.

I don’t know how accurate this is, but we watch those cop shows, and we see the law enforcement officers draw their weapons, and the perp takes off running, chased by the officers, who have to catch him and wrestle him down because he knows they can’t shoot him.
What’s the point of arming officers if they can’t use their weapons when someone is resisting arrest? “Stop, or I’ll yell stop again.”

In Ferguson, there is evidence that Michael Brown was attempting to wrest the officer's gun away. Should Darren Wilson have waited until Brown was successful before defending himself? Eggs-zactly!
Michael Brown WAS NOT UNARMED!
Legally, whenver two individuals are fighting for possession of a weapon, both are deemed to be in possession until that fight is concluded.

So an 5’5” armed woman has no right to shoot the 6’5” brute attempting to rape her?

I can only hope that all the morons who think this way are the ones who are first to be attacked by some of these “unarmed” thugs they defend.
It’s too bad that the Bosnian man who was beat to death by “teens” with hammers wasn’t armed.

Some folks just need to spend a few minutes in a locked room with a mean fellow with nothing to lose that outweighs them by, say, 100 pounds.

there was not lethal assault.
An arrest was made of a very large man that chose to resist. His body, unfortunately was not actually capable of fulfilling his mind's desire. The effort of resisting was more than his heart and lungs could stand
He was pitifully ignorant. All over the country his "people of color" have been delivering the message of salvation by the tens of thousands
I surrender

The LIBs at the times are such ignorant asshats. May they and their fanmily experience an “unarmed” thug attacking them.

Arms and Legs can be as lethal as sledgehammers.
Just because someone does not carry a GUN does not make him harmless.
