Thanks for the explanation.

Anyways, when the courts got done with this incident, they didn't convict the cop who tried to apply a choke on him because although it wasn't procedure, he couldn't have known that Garner would die. Because of State Law, even Negligent Homicide, required some kind of intent on the part of the officer to basically kill Garner, or for him to be aware that his actions would kill Garner.

This is quite concerning to me. I hope that this is only when the police officer is acting legally. Because if a criminal throws a punch at me, and he just happens to kill me without intending to kill me, he should not be able to not be prosecuted for negligent homicide.
