Re: No Indictment in Chokehold Death
And now he's dead. I don't smoke but I don't believe that I have the right to tell others not to smoke.
Or sell cigarettes.
I don't believe that Eric Garner should be dead. From what I've read the man died because he was selling loose cigarettes. I wonder how many more people in New York will suffer the same fate.
Heya CB. :2wave: Oh, and here they do say he swatted their arms away, huh? I'll bet the 23 Jurors saw that as resisting.
Because everytime you see me, you want to harass me. You want to stop me [garbled] Selling cigarettes. I'm minding my business, officer, I'm minding my business. Please just leave me alone. I told you the last time, please just leave me alone."[25] Garner swatted their arms away, saying, "Don't touch me, please.".He was then put in a chokehold or headlock from behind by officer Daniel Pantaleo, in order to be subdued....
