| Eric Garner at the confrontation scene where he died as a result of being choked to death by the Police. |
Even though Eric Garner was unarmed and was heard on tape clearly saying i can't breathe,he was not released by the policeman who had him in a chokehold position.Eric Garner died as a result and now the cop is free from prosecution.
A Staten Island grand jury voted not to bring criminal charges against the white New
York City police officer who used a chokehold to restrain Mr. Garner, an unarmed black man who died after the confrontation.
Daniel Pantaleo, the white NYPD officer had placed 43-year-old father of six Eric Garner in the choke hold after Garner was detained for apparently selling illegal cigarettes. The incident was caught on video by a cell phone camera and published nationally, fueling claims of police brutality
and unfair treatment of black men by law enforcement.
The decision was reached on Wednesday after months of testimony including from the officer, Daniel Pantaleo, It came less than two weeks after a grand jury in Ferguson, Mo., declined to bring charges against a white officer who fatally shot an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown. - See more at: http://www.lailasblog.com/2014/12/no-indictment-for-white-cop-that-killed.html#more
