quote:

Eric Garner’s death by chokehold was a homicide. The Staten Island man who collapsed after being placed in the banned restraint by a police officer died from compression of the neck and chest, the New York City Medical Examiner ruled Friday. The 43-year-old victim’s asthma, obesity and high blood pressure were also contributing factors in his death, the autopsy determined.


This isn't the first this year from this cause by 5-0.

At what point do insurers start dropping police departments from liability policies for high risk?

Insurance Companies raise rates, municipalities have riders and are self-insured to cover things like this ... it's no biggie in the overall scheme of things. Not insurance wise, is what I am saying.

I've seen the video a couple of times and I can't understand why Officer Pantaleo maintained the illegal chokehold even after Garner was obviously subdued. You'd think, "I can't breathe," was a definite signal of submission.

I also can't understand why no CPR was attempted at any time. Several of the officers seemed curious about his condition but no one attempted to save his life.

I expected to read about some awful crime by or against a gay or gays, given the title.

I hope the offending PD officers are prosecuted and sentenced just like I would be.

But we know they will get off easy.

Since homicide isn't necessarily murder, they'll find a way to justify the force that caused his death.

He should be charged with murder. All the cops that just sat there and watched should be charged with something as well.
