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.

Anything could have brought about his asthmatic attack! His weight for instance? He was saying “I can’t breathe”, which says he was breathing. You need air to be able to talk! You know how many that told me they couldn’t breathe, and I was just holding them down after a struggle? And he could resist, but couldn’t breathe? Come on!
Tragic the guy died, but by legal definition, it wasn’t a choke hold.

Wasn’t a chokehold idiots.
Get your facts straight on here!!!
First of all the choke hold was out of policy…not “illegal” and second the guy that video taped it was later arrested on weapons charges, not for video taping (which is legal). Get your facts straight before commenting
Reed, it may not be illegal but choking a person to kill them is murder.
Police Policy means that PO are to follow it or face reprimand/punishment.
Get your facts straight.
