The coroner rule it a homicide. Regardless of what Garner was doing, the officer should have stood trial for murder. The police, in general, have too much power, too full of themselves. Just as I am comfortable concluding that Brown apparently got what he deserved, I equally feel the police were out-of-control with Garner. Justice was not served. It is unfortunate Garner is dead, sad statement that his grave is left as shown.

Homicide and murder are two entirely different legal terms. Look them up.

The coroner is a medical professional, not a lawyer. A homicide is not a crime by definition.

I agree with your statement that the police have too much power, but I don't necessarily think this is a case where power was abused. The police didn't go out that day looking to cause trouble. The were sent to the scene in response to a call from a store owner who had a problem with a troublemaker outside his business establishment. Four police officers were sent to the scene because they knew they were going to have trouble with the guy when they got there.

Homicide is not an indication of guilt or suspicion. It merely means a person killed another person. A grand jury determines if a true bill or no bill is issued.

Regarding the grave. . .who cares? Settling ground happens, and a marker will be placed (state law), and it takes time for markers to be made. . .especially when paid for by the taxpayer.

Justice was not served is your opinion. The grand jury disagrees.
