Re: NYPD officer in Eric Garner chokehold death not indicted by Staten Island grand j
Why were they arresting him in the first place? Selling "loosey" is not an offense that warrants arrest.
Hyperbole is a bit pointless, dont you think ?
The Police Officer never intended to " Murder " anyone. He tried to arrest a Man that was resisting arrest.
The autopsy showed no damage to the Mans windpipe.
The man was obviously overweight and unhealthy.
How does your average Police Officer determine whether or not a resisting suspect is healthy enough to survive the process of being forcibly detained ?
A process that is used in the first place because the suspect refuses to comply with the Officers orders ?
They cant run a full battery of test on someone while they're in the middle of trying to put handcuffs on them.
So your'e saying the Man should have been let go? Not arrested because he had asthma ?
Allowed to break free and dictate the terms of his arrest ?
