Okay, I'm thoroughly perplexed by this incident. As this news article reports, "In ruling Garner's death a homicide, the city medical examiner said police officers killed him by compressing his neck and chest. His health problems, including asthma and obesity, were contributing factors, the medical examiner said."
Furthermore, NYPD protocol prohibits the use of chokeholds. If Garner's death has been ruled a homicide and the officer performed that fatal move in violation of protocol, what exactly is the jury's reasoning for no indictment?
