I agree. I'm pretty shocked that there are no charges at all. A regular jury should have looked at all the facts here, including Garner's pre-existing health conditions at the officer's actions.

I knew this would happen. The emphasis on the "choke hold" was bogus and a perfect excuse for the D.A. to protect a L.E. brother and leave the onus on the jurors. Garner died because he was dog piled by a pack of thugs. And he easily could have been saved. They should all have been charged with something. Instead, everybody walks.

Why? From what I understand, because of the mans weight he already had breathing problems. How would a police officer know that? Any other man wouldn't have died from this. Should the officer have stopped everything and called someone to check this guys health records before confronting him? Really?
