I'm fine with that, so long as we're arresting and charging cops for that, too.

Rules for THEE, not for ME!

At the Federal level law enforcement components are prohibited from using “chokeholds” and “carotid restraints” unless deadly force is authorized, that is “when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.” 2 states had laws banning chokeholds prior to George Floyd's death and another 17 have enacted legislation to ban or restrict chokeholds since then

Excellent example of one part of the story. Police intervened because over a hundred people were getting angry at Spirit Airline staff, no reason given. Definitely not premeditated, so not first degree m***** anyways. https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/spirit-airlines-customer-arrested-for-putting-orlando-police-officer-in-chokehold-at-airport-deputies

His defense attorny should show a montage of police officer choke holds through the years. It'd be a 4 hour movie.

And he lived to go to trial? I must be dreaming.

People seem to forget we as society have decided to give the police a monopoly on violence. This is intentional. Everyone else is forbidden from using it. The police can, if they must.

"To become irrational like that, it’s not right," he added (he being the officer choked) So they know when chokeholds are supposed to be used rationally and therefore deliberately use them unnecessarily with conscious knowledge that its wrong.
