The medical examiner wrote that "compression of [Garner's] neck and chest" were the primary causes of his death. This was reported by every major media agency in the city, and is a matter of public record.In the Rice case, there is surveillance video of the shooting. Rice is turned with his back to the arriving cop, and has no time to reach for anything before the cop fills him full of holes. Oh, and race plays a major role in our criminal justice system, every single day. In a borough like Staten Island, this is especially true. The DA, Donovan, wasn't interested in indicting a white cop for killing a Black person, in a county full of his (white) constituents, many of whom are city cops. He deliberately made it easy for Pantaleo to walk. If you think first responders don't also look at Black people a certain way, note that the TWO EMS crews that responded to the Garner incident both failed miserably to do their jobs. They saw a Black man in police custody, and decided he wasn't worthy of the most minimal medical intervention, even though he had stopped breathing by the time they arrived. That is the reality of the society we live in. I saw this in action firsthand too many times. I know full well what some cops' attitudes really are. |
