Protests After Grand Jury in Eric Garner Chokehold Case Doesn’t Indict Officer

I'm a jiu jitsu instructor. A choke held for that short of a period of time is not dangerous.

Mr. Garner, may he rest in peace, likely died of an asthma attack or some other complication from the stress of the encounter.

Chokes are one of the safest ways to control and restrain an individual as long as it is not continued to be held after the person is unconscious.
