Pretty sad story. If she departs this life I hope she reunites with her dad in heaven. He shouldn’t have resisted police arresting him and although they were rough on him I blame the laws of intrusive government as he was just selling cigarettes to make some money.
“he was just selling cigarettes to make some money.”
It was against the law. Period.
Just like illegal immigrants are breaking the law.
I’m sure if this guy really needed money he could have found another way to do it.

Maybe they can both sell cigarettes as loosies to the marginal heavenly occupants?
In all fairness, he wasn’t Robin Hood. He was selling his (smuggled and probably stolen) cigarettes right outside the door of the neighborhood bodega, whose owner actually does pay all the taxes and meet all the requirements necessary to sell cigarettes. It was the store that complained, because Garner had already been warned away from that location and in fact had been arrested several times before for the same thing.
I think it was found that it wasn’t an illegal chokehold - he started fighting and when they got him to the ground, he basically died because he had an asthma attack and chest compression because he was heavy and was on his stomach with his hands behind his back. He was complaining, but of course probably everybody does. But as soon as they realized that there really was a problem, they tried to help him and called for an ambulance, but it was too late.
The family seems like they might have some congenital heart problem and, of course, the daughter herself probably has asthma and is overweight, which makes things that much worse. Still it’s sad because they don’t seem like evil people, just kind of dysfunctional and hapless.
He was selling cigarettes outside a legitimate business establishment and harassing the customers of that business establishment. That's why the police were called to the scene in the first place.
He was a nuisance in life, and met an unfortunate end of his own doing.
Yep, blame the Democrat ATF, not race. Democrats also cynically know their laws are meant to bait blacks mainly
