NYPD has not classified the officer's action as a chokehold. This matters.

of course they're trying to say that the chokehold wasn't a chokehold, else he violated their rules and procedures. the medical examiner rules it a homicide, citing 'compression of the neck'.
as for the cop who did the chokehold, pantaleo...he already cost ny money on another lawsuit, and has another pending.
