I didn’t realize you had a chance to examine the body. You didn’t? So, you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, then, do you? How the hell can you disagree with a medical examiner without examining anyone? What you really mean is that you presume medical examiners are guilty of fraud and cops are always innocent of any crime, even when they are the proximate cause of an innocent person’s death.
Yep...
I was going to comment similar to yours, but I didn’t have the energy...You summed that up better than I could have.
It is actually hard to kill someone with a choke. You can cause them to pass out very quickly and such. But, to kill someone requires cutting off the blood supply and oxygen to the brain for several minutes.
Mr. Garner never lost consciousness while he was being restrained from the hold. As, I said, unless the officer destroyed his trachea, the hold did not kill him. And, I said as of now, from the cursory info I've seen. I'm willing to change my opinion once I see the report.
The edited video shows Mr. Garner having verbal command and consciousness. Those two things are important. Then the video becomes even more unclear. But, yeah, I'm skeptical of the ME.
