Pantaleo didn't choke him, he "took him down" by the neck. Once Garner was on the ground, Pantaleo, released the choke hold and placed his hands on the side of Garner's head while his accomplices cuffed him.
It wasn't until Garner was down on the ground with Pantaleo's hands on his head, that he started indicating that he couldn't breathe. That he was able to clearly state 11 times that he couldn't breathe is very strong evidence that he was, in fact, able to breathe as there had to be air moving in and out of his lungs for his larynx to function. What he was actually reporting was "difficulty breathing" which is a completely different phenomena than "inability to breathe". This is significant because the coroner has listed the cause of death as "heart attack" and further claims that Garner died of this heart attack in the back of the ambulance. Difficulty breathing, incidentally, is one of the classic symptoms of a heart attack. Inability to breathe is a classic symptom of airway obstruction/compromise.
So, the coroner confirms that he died of a heart attack and further states that he dies of this heart attack in the back of the ambulance. And that seems like bullshit to me.
Once Eric Garner stopped saying "I can't breathe, he was unconscious and rapidly dieing from the heart attack he was experiencing.
Especially the

Yeah, there's no way they damaged or injured his windpipe, when they choked him, right?
Mr. Garner was asthmatic. That ass cop put him in a choke hold. He stated many times, that he couldn't breathe. They didn't render any oxygen. They didn't attempt to resuscitate him. They did nothing.
Mr. Garner would not have died, if the police didn't harass him that day, period.
