Medical officials ruled Garner's death a homicide when he was choked to death by police. No regular chokehold should completely cut off a person's airway. If you are holding onto someone so hard that they can't breathe, you are aware of how tight your hold is. Despite Garner's cries that he couldn't breathe, the officer did not loosen his grip. The officer who killed him just got away completely free, no repercussions.
Garner's "crime" was selling untaxed cigarettes, and he lost his life for it.
