so....had he not been choked would he still be alive?

Stocker

a) he was not choked

b) speak for yourself fatty. Garner was fat even by murikan stadards. Oh and he had a heart that wouldn't stand up to being violently arrested.

c) if you want to think one could die an hour later from a choking there's nothing much left to say to you.

Im glad we have a certified medical examiner here. One that can discredit the city medical examiners report of homicide by neck compression.



Thanks!

trollguy says: not if ur a cop!

Legally... no it isn't, unless you had prior knowledge that the person had asthma. Even if you did, it'd be manslaughter, not murder as you lacked intent.

and thanks for pointing out what everyone is having an issue with.





oh, so what you are saying is id get away with not so much as a slap on the wrist? maybe some paid administrative leave? oh yeah, i forgot, im not a cop.

If your job required subduing someone who was being combative, then yes.
