This is another low IQ dispute. There was no choke hold. Only the very stupid could imagine that there was.I've administered a real chokes hold while fooling around as a teen ager and in Judo class in college. A choke hold puts the recipient to sleep immediately. They do not have the ability to say something like - 'I can't breathe'.
Haven't these dummies ever watched an MMA type match on TV? If you are really being choked, you do not make a speech.
I'm 6'4" and weigh about 320 lbs. But I'm tiny compared to Garner. He was a Heart Failure patient. I also am in Heart Failure but I went to the clinic yesterday to get my monthly blood test. My INR was 2.6. What was Eric Garner's INR?
Garner was a guy who foolishly engaged in strenuous physical activity with a weak heart and probably poor medicine discipline. He died because he was in a vigorous struggle. He was in a vigorous struggle because he chose to resist arrest. He should have been more careful. He made a fatal mistake.
Instead of another stupid demonstration we should have some kind of program to increase the public awareness of the proper management of Heart Failure.
I agree, and many of the police knew he had a history.
Yes it is tragic when any death occurs, but by simply not resisting arrest or other commands of the police you can avoid death. I think it is simple as that.
