Eric Garner's death ruled a homicide by medical examiner

TOTTENVILLE (WABC) -- The New York Medical Examiner has ruled Eric Garner died as a result of compression of neck, compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police.

The cause of death has been ruled a homicide.

Contributing factors include acute and chronic bronchial asthma, obesity, and hypertensive cardiovascular disease, the medical examiner said.

Garner's videotaped confrontation with police has caused widespread outcry, and Attorney General Eric Holder has said the Justice Department is "closely monitoring" the investigation into his death.

The SI Da needs to make a decision. He is a conservative Republican but he said he is talking hrmjustin Aug 2014 #2

If this involved a civilian perpetrator instead of a cop the arrest would have already occurred. Warren Stupidity Aug 2014 #3

After all the prime suspect was videotaped in the act of murdering Mr. Garner.

It is long past time to stop treating police as above the law.

A federal jury is better because 7t would include a larger jury pool with a better cross section of the city.

A SI jury will be mostly white with relatives and friends who are cops.
