Some of you act like this is equivalent to the cop walking up and announcing "selling cigs without tax is illegal" and then shooting the guy in the head.

HOMICIDE: Medical examiner says NYPD chokehold killed Staten Island dad Eric Garner

quote:

Eric Garner’s death by chokehold was a homicide.

The Staten Island man who collapsed after being placed in the banned restraint by a police officer died from compression of the neck and chest, the New York City Medical Examiner ruled Friday.

The 43-year-old victim’s asthma, obesity and high blood pressure were also contributing factors in his death, the autopsy determined.

It was the latest development in a case that sparked national outrage after The Daily News obtained video showing Officer Daniel Pantaleo putting Garner in the chokehold.

Garner’s widow said she was relieved that the ME confirmed what had been suspected for weeks.
