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.

I seem to remember this on TV only it was handled a bit better and no one died. May be we all need a bit more- “Mayberry!” ? 🙂
Sorry- “Mayberry”!!! 🙂
I hate the man died and wish it wouldn’t have happened. I watched the entire video and they man should have complied with the police. The African-American woman N YPD Sergeant should have stopped it but did nothing.
Wow that’s a lot of idiots in one place.
Funny thing is… If he said he could not breathe then he could breath.
If you can’t breathe, you can’t talk.
It takes less evidence for a Civil Trial than for a Criminal Trial, and there’s plenty of evidence to take to court. The plus side of not having a criminal trial is this: IF it had gone to trial and the officer pleaded NO CONTEST, that means all of the evidence used in the criminal trial CAN’T be used against him in the civil trial. Since there was no criminal trial, ALL evidence at hand can and will be used against him in the Civil Trial.
It wasn’t a choke hold. Read the medical examiner’s report, you morons. Just because some idiots say something is so deosn’t make it so
Two sides….some believe this protest is against cops brutality while Blacks is for Blacks purpose. …2 different agendas. ..one is racist while the other is for all races…..know your side
What Obama medias wont tell us

I dont mean to sound insensitive but how can you say…”I cant breathe ..I can’t breathe..11times..if you aren’t breathing? Wouldn’t it be easier and smarter to say..”ok..ok..ok..I give up!” I do feel for the man’s family. Keeping all of it in my prayers.
