NY Police officer Kill Man by Placing him in Choke-hold and Slamming Face to Sidewalk

[trikydik]

Deep Breath Everyone... it appears he actually died of a heart attack.... an hour later....

A man who died after a New York City police officer took him to the ground in a chokehold appeared to have little damage to his neck and trachea, according to preliminary autopsy results, a law enforcement source said, but that may not be enough to keep him from being disciplined or even facing criminal charges.

Eric Garner, who was 6-foot-3 and roughly 350 pounds, died Thursday after police struggled to arrest him for allegedly selling loose cigarettes on Staten Island, according to the NYPD. Police said he appeared to suffer a heart attack.

Officer Daniel Pantaleo, an 8-year veteran who was seen in a video that has sparked outrage putting Garner in a chokehold, has been placed on "modified assignment," meaning he was stripped of his badge and gun, pending the outcome of the dual probes by the district attorney and Internal Affairs.

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton had announced Friday that the cop and his partner were on "desk duty," but they still had their guns and shields.

A chokehold is a violation of NYPD police, regardless of whether the move causes any damage, but beyond that, prosecutors and police investigators will be looking at whether it caused or contributed to Garner's death about an hour after he was taken into custody.

Oh and there is NO way the coroner would falsify information to help the cops, right?

Yeah it was not the rat poison he injected or the electrical shock from 220v or the bullet through the heart or the severed head but in fact he died from lung cancer.

I have been on the fence on how it should be treated but I'm not gullible enough to believe he died from something unrelated to his injuries.
