The breaking of a “trivial law” evaporates when someone advances to “resisting arrest”. Once again, the law breaker made a stupid decision, which to me seems little different from the stupid decisions that occurred in the other two cases. I think we all regret the outcome, but I sure cannot blame the police. Imagine the landscape without them.
if the officer had actually choked the man to death I would agree with the protestors on this one.
BUT, that’s not what happened.

1:39 choke hold is applied
1:46 is taken to the ground (note the arm sticking out starts to spasm *heart attack*)
1:54 says “I can’t breathe for the first time”
1:55 released from choke hold
Garner died later in the ambulance on the way to the hospital of cardiac arrest.
Those are the FACTS.
He was NOT, repeat NOT choked to death! anyone who says that is lying!

The stupid mistake in all three cases was made long before the incidents happened. When people are raised to disrespect all authority, teachers, police, et cetera, they will likely not make the right decision at a crucial time which could end in losing their life.
The parents of all these young people should look to themselves and how they raised their sons and how they are raising any that are still under their influence.
