Re: NYPD officer in Eric Garner chokehold death not indicted by Staten Island grand j
The autopsy indicated that both of these were instrumental in causing Garner's cardiac arrest.
I also know that grand juries almost never decline to indict. It's not a system where evidence is challenged; it's almost always a mere formality. It certainly doesn't match the level of scrutiny of a full file.
But hey, why talk about police brutality and injustices of the courts, when we can bitch about taxes? :roll:

I've seen the video. Garner was unarmed and non-violent. One of the officers used a choke hold. Another pushed his head into the ground, and sat on his back, compressing his chest.I believe you are better than this. You have not seen the evidence.
