Lynch explains that officers cannot walk away when arrest is needed. (CBS)

In lengthy interviews, PBA president Pat Lynch speaks with CBS 2 News about the death in custody incident in Staten Island.   Lynch explains that officers cannot walk away when they have to make an arrest and that what people are interpreting as a chokehold is actually the officers bringing a non-compliant arrestee to the ground in order to rear cuff him, and that no conclusions can be drawn until all the facts are determined by an investigation.
