Grand Jury Decides Not To Indict Cop In Eric Garner Chokehold Case

[Chad4000]

The headlock was briefly used (approximately 8 seconds) to help take him to the ground.
He never lost consciousness during the time he was in a headlock.
He was breathing (speaking) during and for several seconds after the brief headlock.
He later died due to a number of preexisting health issues, exasperated by strenuous activity.
No indictment.

If he took off running down the street, chased by the cops, he would likely have died in the same manner - preexisting health issues.

The cop jumped on his back at 0.38, but he didn't appear to have a hold until 0.43.
The cop released with one arm and grabbed the man's wrist at 0.51, at which point, the man started speaking and was obviously conscious.

Clearly has his arm around the guys neck at 38. again, same team here, but preexisting conditions were probably part of the reason that choke holds aren't allowed. Cops liable. Which im sure will play out civilly.
