of course I'm NOT joking. those people treat life so lowly, they must be punished.

So you're offended they treat life so lowly yet you are perfectly okay with hanging them? Not just the cop who performed the chokehold but those around him as well?

I am speechless.

It wasn't the pile up it was the banned choke hold that contributed to his death. Tho I'm pretty sure the (highly unnecessary) pile up had a little to do with it as well...

So which was more responsible for Garner's death? The chokehold, the pile up, or Garner's pre-existing health problems?

"The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide, citing both the choke hold and the force applied to Garner’s chest. A history of asthma and high blood pressure made Garner especially vulnerable. Choke holds have been banned by the NYPD since 1993, according to a variety of news outlets."
