“The Coroner ruled the decedent died from a injuries caused by the cops.”
Here is what the medical examiner actually stated: “On August 1, 2014, city medical examiners concluded that Garner was killed by neck compression from the chokehold along with “the compression of his chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police”. Asthma, heart disease and obesity were contributing factors.”

Yeah, anyone who tries a choke hold with one arm had better be at least twice as big as their ‘victim’.
“Choke hold” is the Big Lie in this story.
I know what a choke hold is. I’ve been trained to use it.
I wonder if the "cops" knew this man had asthma and heart disease? A stressful asthmatic attack could cause a heart attack with no one laying a hand on, couldn't it?
I wonder if the medical examiners know what a true "choke hold" is? (I didn't)
I wonder if we would have heard anything about this at all if the "suspect" had been white? or the police officers involved had been black too?
I wonder if anyone realizes how tragic and life-changing this is for EVERYONE involved, not just for the deceased's family and friends?
Racial divisions and animosity seem to be suddenly getting much worse again, in the "post-racial" Obama era.
