Eric Garner Deserved Better!

"I CAN'T BREATH" MEANS KEEP CHOKING SOMEONE?

Eric Garner's Killer Set Free by Grand Jury? NYPD Officer Pantaleo's Choke Hold Not a Choke Hold? What!?!?

I'm more confused today than I was when Micheal Brown's killer was set free. 

How can video proof of an officer killing someone not lead to a conclusion of homicide? Especially when the form of the choke-hold used is illegal in NYC? 

How can a grand-jury not hold the office responsible? How can a man telling the police officers arresting him that he can't breath, eleven times, be language to continue to choke someone?

Let me be clear, "I can't breath" now means, keep choking someone? The very moment Eric Garner said these words, pressure should have been released from around his neck, but instead pressure is continuously applied.  

I have watched that video about twenty times now, and I still can't believe a grand jury didn't find Officer Pantaleo guilty of homicide or murder. 

If you watch the video, you can see the choke hold plain as day. It's a bare-naked choke, any UFC fighter could tell you that. There really isn't any other name for it. Pantaleo even uses a leg hook as he tries to bring Eric Garner down.

What the heck is going on in America? Better yet, what the hell is going on behind the scenes in courtrooms? How could a grand jury be lead to set Pantaleo free? 

There has to be some kind of black magic voodoo going on in these courtrooms! 
Micheal Brown's killer in Ferguson, now Eric Garner's killer is also released from responsibility? How? Even with video evidence? 

Politics? Money? Influence? Mainstays of some of the ways to get a grand jury to look the other way. I mean we are talking about New York City, right? Where there is more political leverage and influence than anywhere else. I don't know how, but somehow justice was moved away from an honest  expected outcome. Keyword here is "Somehow" and I have no idea how things could have gone any other way. 

The problem is simple, there is absolutely positively no way in hell Pantaleo should have been able to walk away from being held totally responsible for Eric Garner's death.

I wrote previously about Micheal Brown and Ferguson, where there was no video evidence to support his death, but in this case I figured with the video evidence involved there was no possible way for any other outcome but a verdict against Pantaleo. To wake up today to see I was wrong is astounding. I had no intentions to write about this case, because I didn't really think there was any reason to believe there wouldn't be an indictment. 

This is a total injustice, period. 

Just as with Micheal Brown's death, Eric Garner didn't deserve to die either, no matter which way you look at it. 

I'm disgusted by this and all Americans should be too, but I'm sure there is a percentage who are saying otherwise. I'm sure there are people out there justifying his death. I can't agree to that bullhocky though, but I'm sure there are people out there in America who stand behind Pantaleo and the murder of Mr. Garner.

There are too many questions to ask, and too many questions now arising from this outcome. There isn't any reason for it to begin with, and I have serious doubts as to how the Jury was lead to decide against Eric Garner. 

Eric Garner's death was wrong, period. The Grand Jury outcome? A pure miscarriage of Justice and questionable beyond words. Conspiracy, maybe... Incredible and dismaying? Yes. I am fully shocked by this outcome and doubt the validity of it, as it would not be surprising to learn later on that there was more involved behind the scenes of this unintelligible decision than we are being told.
