"They choked him" no they did not they put him in a choke hold. watch the video, he says "I can't breathe" a dozen times. what air was he breathing with if he was being choked the last 10 times? and yes they stopped him from pawning smokes. well fun fact asshole, pawning smokes is illegal in new york. You don't like the state doing state shit, don't let them prohibit stupid shit. Don't blame cops for peoples fat life choices. play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
