Garner was overwight, african american, diabetic, and had heart disease and asthma. His heart attack was inevitable. I don't necessarily blame the officers for the supposed choke hold. They didn't know his health history. I just think that they could have done a little more once it was clear that he was unconscious and not breathing. My real issue, however, is that this very well illustrates the decreased police emphasis on protecting and serving the citizens and the increased emphasis on enforcing the will of petty little tyrants like Bill de Blasio who wish to squeeze taxes out of people and interfere with free trade.
Could you please show me where where the autopsy mentions “heart attack”?
Multiple reports said it was the retail merchants who complained about Garner and rightly so.
That would be an example of the police serving the citizen merchants.
