Once again. Garner died from an asthma attack. In my book a self induced one. Not from a choke hold.

Not according to the autopy. He died of a cardiac arrest.
That’s what I thought.
I believe a serious asthma attack can induce cardiac arrest. I say this from being an asthmatic from earliest childhood onto the end of my WWII army service in WWII which included infantry assigned service in the Philippines. All in all an interesting story. In my youth I spent days and even weeks under doctors and hospital care looking for causes and reliefs from asthma. This all might seem made up but I lived through it and have first hand experience as to living in and out of an asthmatic life with it’s dangers. I remember so clearly a statement/advice given to me as a young teenager working at a store. The owner’s wife once said to me that though her husband (my boss) had severe asthma she believed I would/could overcome mine. She was right. I am now in my late 80s and have had a very busy professional engineering livelihood. To get back to the case at hand, I believe with/by all the previous law encounters the police should have had background info on Garner’s health condition so as to take such into account. Garner in turn should never had continued setting himself up for police encounters knowing his own condition even though such was a on and off condition. My judgment, ‘a societal, political, legal draw with no charges against officers involved’.
