NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo won't face federal charges in Eric Garner "chokehold" death

WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors won’t bring civil rights charges against a New York City police officer in the 2014 chokehold death of Eric Garner.
That’s according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke Tuesday to the Associated Press. The person wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Officers were attempting to arrest Garner on charges he sold loose, untaxed cigarettes outside a Staten Island convenience store. Garner refused to be handcuffed, and officers took him down.
Garner’s dying words, “I can’t breathe,” became a rallying cry for police reform activists.
A state grand jury refused to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo on criminal charges.
Chokeholds are banned under police policy. Pantaleo maintained he used a legal takedown maneuver called the “seatbelt.”
The medical examiner found that a chokehold contributed to Garner’s death.

There is no way to know if Eric Garner would have dropped dead that day from a heart attack. But being strangled by a cop ensured that he did die that day.

Would be a non story if the dude would've just gave up.

Way to victim blame, it's almost like you want people to be held accountable for their actions, mighty white of you

That's true. But there were enough cops around him to cuff him without choking him out. Even though it should have never gotten to that point. Blame on both sides.

And to think the mayor that implemented the draconian anti-smoking laws that led to this wants to be our president. Sad.
Is what I would say if I was running for the Dem nomination.

Good. I'm sure Officer Pantaleo is ready to end this after 5 years.

would be a non-story if the cops weren't enforcing BS laws that just create more opportunities for conflict. They are just enforcing government revenue streams in this case
ETA: if this baw were choked out for not giving up his gun or a cross on his house folks would be applauding him. Sagging pants or selling cigarettes? death penalty.

Seems like you want cops picking and choosing which laws to enforce. Nothing can go wrong there
