As Brietbart reported: “The autopsy from the medical examiner attributed his death to homicide – meaning death at the hands of another party, not murder, in medical parlance – and stated that he died thanks to “Compression of neck (choke hold), compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police.” But the autopsy further noted that Garner died thanks to acute and chronic bronchial asthma, obesity, and heart disease.”

I’m not even sure that I buy that coroner’s conclusion considering that-

“An ambulance was immediately called to the scene and Mr. Garner was transported by EMS to Richmond University Medical Center. He went into cardiac arrest while he was in the vehicle. He was pronounced dead approximately one hour later at the hospital.”

I have read that same report. And you're still standing by the fact that this was not excessive force?

And for an unarmed man for selling single cigarettes?

I am as big of supporter of LEO as anyone else, but these cops are coming across as much as thugs as the criminal they apprehended. Disgusting.
