The city ME believes Mr. Garner died of an asthma attack due to the hold, but other experts suggest he died of a heart attack while resisting arrest. Either way, the cop won’t be charged.
Of course he won't be charged. Is anyone surprised? Cops are above the law in this country. They are allowed to kill citizens without consequence, as we see time and time and time again. Nothing changes. This decision is just more of the same.

Yep.

Chokeholds are banned under police policy. Pantaleo maintained he used a legal takedown maneuver called the "seatbelt."
Common sense 101, don’t resist arrest. I’ve seen white people get slammed to the pavement by Police with a foot on their neck, they were acting stupid and resisting.
I could be wrong about this, but I thought chokehold was banned by police department?
Truly sad. This is one of those times I believe police was in the wrong.
