Eric Garner’s Death Ruled Homicide By Chokehold

According to NY Daily News reports:

The New York City Medical Examiner has determined that Eric Garner’s death as he was arrested by cops on Staten Island was a homicide by chokehold.

Garner, 43, died while being busted for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes on Staten Island on July 17. Video obtained by the Daily News shows Officer Daniel Pantaleo putting Garner in a chokehold.

A spokeswoman for the medical examiner said Friday that Garner died from compression of the neck, which the office labeled a chokehold, and compression of the chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by cops.

The autopsy identified Garner’s asthma, obesity and hypertension as contributing factors in his death.

SMMFH… Time for some justice NYC. The NYPD has been getting away with MURDER for long enough. Daniel Pantaleo should be charged with this homicide and stripped of his badge forever.
