False strawman argument.

1) Cause of death has not been established. Other reports indicate that he suffered a coronary, which if true, was far more likely to be caused by stress and his extreme obesity.

2) Both the police and the medics verified that he was breathing after he was cuffed. Further they placed him on his side which is the preferred position for someone in respiratory distress.

3) He was placed under arrests. Had he complied instead of wanting to resist, he would likely be alive today. Instead, he refused to comply and forced the officers to subdue him.

The fault is his and so are the consequences of his choices.

The autopsy found that Garner, 43, died as a result of compression of neck, compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police.

Just as I said, he was crushed by 4 or 5 cops dog-piling on him even as he lay there telling them that he could not breath. Compression of chest. Wake up, pal.
