After watching the extended video of Garner on the ground after the initial arrest, I must say that i was surprised that indeed no help or aid was given him.
I am not sure why that was.
From watching the video closely, I do not believe that I could see him breathing, and when they finally did move him to the stretcher, his eyes seemed to fall open, which would indicate to me that something was seriously wrong or he was already dead.
I still do not believe that the head lock he was placed in killed him by way of asphyxia or lack of blood flow to the brain.
It simply was not held long enough, nor was it applied in such a way that the goal of it was to do either of those things.
I do believe, however, that the weight of the men on him in combination with his own could have killed him. I believe laying on the sidewalk alone may have killed him. I believe that a heart attack from the situation itself may have killed him, but I don’t believe that the policeman using the hold killed him or intended to kill him.
But I do think that not giving him on the scene medical aid is a shocker. I’m not sure why they did that.
Having seen that, I no longer believe that he died of a heart attack in the ambulance. I believe he was already dead before being put on the stretcher. So shame on those EMTs and the police standing there if in fact they knew how to perform cpr.
I still do not believe that the cop should be indicted.
Mark Levin said the facts state he died of a heart attack in the ambulance on the way to the hospital
