1. Which cop specifically killed him and how?
1a. If you choose to resist an arrest order, then it is possible that you can die as a result of that choice.
3. None of that matters. What does matter is that he resisted an arrest order that day.
5. It was not a choke hold. At no time in that video did I see the officer purposely attempt to prevent Garner from breathing or receiving natural blood flow to the brain, and and no time during the time period that the officer was in contact with garner did Garner lose consciouness, which the the result of a chokehold.
6. From what I saw in the video, it looked to me that Garner was dead before he was in the ambulance, but that is just my opinion, I have no proof of that.
6a. A citizen does not have the right to fight a police officer whereas an officer does have the right to arrest a citizen, and that citizen does not have the right to resist that arrest. If a person fights an officer and that officer later dies as a result of that fight, then that person should be charged in that death.
7. It wasn’t a choke hold.
9. The necessary majority was 12.
10. It wasn’t a choke hold.
11. The record of the person who filmed Garner’s arrest is not relevant in my mind. I am glad he filmed it so that I could watch it and decide for myself to be perfectly honest. So I definitely agree here.
Was the hold being used specifically banned, even if it was not a “choke hold”?
Here you can see the "not a chokehold" wrapped around Mr. Garner's throat.
To me, it looks like it's not "not a chokehold"... LOL! :)
