good find, another one slipped through the cracks. let's be honest though, even if it was "officially" illegal he still would have gotten away with it.

Because violating police protocol is a different charge from murdering a man.

If Garner decided to run from the police and had a heart attack, is it murder 1 on the police for chasing him?

So what you are saying is choking someone has no affect on their ability to respirate and deliver oxygen to the brain?

He was choked for only 10 seconds. I guarantee most people can hold their breath for 10 seconds and not die or go into a coma...

blaming his health is a convenient excuse to ignore the fact that choke holding citizens is illegal. end of story.

With a City Councilman poised to introduce legislation that would criminalize police use of a choke hold, Mayor de Blasio reiterated his belief that existing NYPD policy is sufficient.

Choke holds, or any move that restricts a person’s windpipe, have been banned under the NYPD patrol guide since 1993.


It's banned under the NYPD patrol guide but not illegal in a court of law.

But even if he did illegally choke him, there is no nexus between the chokehold and his death. His infamous cry "I can't breathe!" occurred after the chokehold was no longer applied.

If you blame "compression of the neck" for his death then that means no 300 lb. man should ever be taken to the ground because a normal, healthy man would not have perished from such a simple manuever.

So what you are saying is choking someone has no affect on their ability to resperate and deliver oxygen to the brain? Additionally his frail health was his own doing therefore his family has no right to justice for his death even though it still wouldn't have happened if he want choked? I will remember this for the future, maybe I will hit an old man with my car and can get off because he was already really old and probably would have died anyway.

the coroner ruled his death a homicide due to compression of the neck. that is the official cause of death.

The man was choked for only 10 seconds, blaming the chokehold is a convenient excuse to ignore he was 300 lbs. overweight and had asthma and diabetes....If the cops had tackled him to the ground he'd still probably died.

Btw I still think the police went overboard but i've seen pro wrestlers give better chokeholds than what that cop did.

Not surprised there were no charges. It seems people are rarely inclined to hold a cop accountable for excessive force, and the Thin Blue Line will bend over backwards to protect their own from being equal under the law like the citizens they "protect and serve."

this man lost his life for selling loose cigarettes. it is illegal for officers to use a choke hold as a method to restrain citizens
