Saddened by NY Grand Jury Decision To NOT Indict

Whatever you want to call it, the cop put his arm around the man's neck, causing him to be unable to breathe. That resulted in stress being placed on the heart which caused the cardiac arrest.

One led to another.... and it all directly resulted from a thug in uniform.

Call it a choke hold, call it a headlock, call it a hug if you want. I'll call it negligent homicide. He should have known what his actions could lead to. I'll bet it wasn't his first use of excessive force, and it likely won't be the last.

You obviously did not read any of the links I posted

The Autopsy only gave what he did as a contributor factor. He also listed the dude KNEELING on the mans back and him being on his stomach

Ok he did not have a problem breathing until they rolled him on his stomach.

Why are you all trying to make this guy the scape goat?

If it was the man putting him in a headlock then the man should have been unable to breath before being on the ground and then rolling over

And NONE of this would have happened if the perp had simply put his hands behind his back when told he was under arrest. Let's place the blame where it belongs. It's not the officers fault he was resisting. And this wasn't the perps first rodeo either. He knew what he was doing and what the result was going to be.
