It is little reported: There is Another Unedited Video of this Arrest - Officers Did Not Use Excessive Force in Arresting Garner

Officers Did Not Use Excessive Force in Arresting Garner | National Review Online

It’s rare that I find myself on opposite sides of an issue from Charles Krauthammer. Such is my respect for his opinions that when I find myself differing with him, I ask where I’ve gone wrong. But not this time.
Appearing Wednesday on the Fox News Channel’s Special Report, Dr. Krauthammer was discussing the decision by a Staten Island grand jury not to indict an NYPD officer in the July 17 death of Eric Garner, a decision he described as “totally incomprehensible.” I’m sorry, Dr. K., but I don’t find it the least bit incomprehensible.
Officer Daniel Pantaleo was one of several officers involved in the incident, and it was he who grabbed Garner in what has often been described as a “chokehold,” which has been erroneously attributed as the cause of Garner’s death (the medical examiner described it as a contributing factor). In the widely seen video of the arrest, Pantaleo can be seen with his arm around Garner’s neck as Garner is taken to the ground and for some time thereafter, but in watching the video it’s difficult to determine whether Garner was in fact choked. And if he was, it did not appear it was long enough even to render him unconscious, much less kill him.
