Here is a video of garner’s arrest.

Please indicate to me at which second mark a knee to the back or chest of Garner is visible and how long that knee to the back or chest of Garner remianed inhis back or chest.

Go to the 1:57 mark on the video. Look at the plainclothes cop wearing the shirt with the number 99. Consider his left knee. It is down (where?), then back up. Was that enough time to cause injury to an ill person? IMHO, that's for an open jury to decide.

And after the 2:09 mark, the view of Garner is essentially blocked. What's going on after that time? Again, that's for an open jury to decide.

Is this video alone enough to convict the cop? Absolutely not! I were a juror, and if this were the only evidence, I would quickly vote to acquit.

But it is, IMHO, enough to hold an open trial.

And please remember also that I'm not arguing that a cop's knee must have caused the death. But something arising from police action did kill Garner.
