He should only have kept a chokehold long enough for others to grab his limbs to hold him down until the police arrived. That was his mistake.

Depending on how he applied it, the chokehold the Marine was using only takes about 7 seconds to put someone out. Any more than that, and you go into death/brain damage territory. The issue isn't the cessation of breathing caused by the hold, but the cutting off of the arteries to the brain. As I watched the video, that was what worried me the most.

It's possible the Marine knew this, and held the chokehold loose enough not to do that kind of damage, but you can't tell that on the video at all. And besides, we all know that even if the real cause of death is something like a fentanyl overdose or whatever, they'll still try to fry this kid just like they did to the cop in Minneapolis.

From the article: “Jordan Neely, 30, was shouting and pacing aboard an F train in Manhattan on Monday afternoon . . .” This tells me that Neely was under the influence of drugs and acting erratically. If it was fentanyl, it would have affected his respiratory system, much as it did George Floyd. Fentanyl makes one very vulnerable to restrictions of the blood flow to the brain. How would the Marine know Neely was extremely vulnerable to his restraining maneuver?
