Thousands of protesters took to the streets in NYC in anger over a grand jury verdict to not indict officer Daniel Pantaleo after he strangled unarmed Eric Garner to death over a confrontation for selling untaxed cigarettes and breaking up a fight.
Protesters chanted “I can’t breathe”, which were the final words of Garner, who suffered from asthesma, as he was in the throes of an illegal chokehold by Pantaleo.
The grand jury did indict one person over the incident, however….the man who filmed the killing.

You really sound dumb with that comment….and I mean that respectfully

So make the choke hold legal. I FIXED THAT
The cop initially used the hold to take him to the ground! As can be seen, the hold was effective! Again, when did the suspect die? On the spot? Hours later? Days later? Let’s get that info first! The chokehold killed him, or was it a heart attack?
Ichi Budhoo- Did you witness this with your own eyes? Apparently the jury didn’t hear your testimony so based their decision on other eye-witness accounts.
These juries base their decision on the facts presented to them. Juries are a diverse mix of different races, sex’s and professions.
Wait!! The courts ruled not to indict the Police Officer who used an illegal chokehold and murdered a man, but they ruled to indict the person (civilian) who put the whole incident on video?? WTF???!!!
Our courts obviously protect police and not people or the victims of police brutality!!!
Don’t these people have anything else to do???? The guy was so fat no wonder he couldn’t breath.
The Medical Examiner determined that his death was due to be choked (no air) that triggered an asthmatic attack. Therefore, the chokehold Killed him!!!
You are a special kind of stupid.
