I don't know if this was something that the GJ considered in reaching their conclusion to not indict.

In my mind I'm not clear that there wasn't an excessive use of force and I have questions regarding the obligation to ensure the welfare of a man in restraints.


There's no question there was an excessive use of force because the department guidelines clearly stated the technique used was not authorized.

But for purposes of the GJ, they were only there to determine if it was a lawful arrest (basically) because in the state of NY, a sworn officer is allowed to use the "choke hold" technique during the execution of a lawful arrest.

So, was the arrest lawful? Yes.
