Yes. It means that the intentional actions of another human being caused Garner's death. (Not that there was an intent to kill, only that deliberate actions caused the death.)Do you know what homicide means when a coroner rules it?

As you've been shown by the evidence we do have, no, your chosen words and their implication are absolutely false.
Well, you finally got one right.
You deserve your long awaited victory dig in the last comment.
Seems really stupid though, but considering the dealers involved, not a surprise. There are like ten reservations in NY state, all of which sell cigs with NO taxes, not state or federal. You can get close to the same deal online. Your exposure to the ATF is about the same as the fellow going to another state to get them.
And not just stupid for the vendors, but the smokers as well.

And again, the ME found that his health was a contributing factor, but that "the compression of his chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police" (emphasis added) caused Garner's death.
I.e. if the police hadn't used excessive force on him, he'd very likely still be alive.
Must be why you've been running away from me all thread.
Keep telling us about your sob story on cigarette peddlers and how they have a special place in hell. :lol: That's going to really move us away from the fact that you could never tell us in which part of the video police told someone to move along.
I didn't say anything about a "collapsed windpipe." Again: You asked, and I quote: "The ME said the police killed him? Link?"Compression of the neck isn't a collapsed windpipe. That's how someone is choked to death.

The media reported the ME's opinion on August 1st. After this much commentary on the topic, there's no excuse for not knowing this critical element.
They did call for medical right away, and they are not equipped to give mouth to mouth, not to mention CPR isn't always indicated and would have actually been harmful here. He was still breathing.
Death of Eric Garner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just as every news report I've read says. I don't know if he died in the ambulance or the hospital.
Go back to trying to troll others now. Got your number.
Hello Μολὼν λαβέ.
The facts are, Garner was still breathing when the EMT showed up. He later died of a heart attack. You can't have a heart attack if you have stopped breathing.
On Aug. 1, a New York City medical examiner determined that the cause of death in the Garner case was “homicide,” specifically the neck compressions from the Pantaleo’s chokehold and “the compression of [Garner’s] chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police,” according to spokeswoman, Julie Bolcer.
Nobody should dispute that Pantaleo committed homicide—that fact was determined Aug. 1.
Good gravy.The victim is the government that wants to tax cigarettes at about 200%. Why else would the government think that using at least five officers to affect a single arrest for selling "loosies" was a good idea? This was a case of government (the huge nanny state?) gone wild on many levels.

Yes, that would be accurate if read without your obvious bias. However, in this case the GJ found there was no or insufficient evidence of excessive force. So that makes this a legal homicide. You really need to try to understand what that determination means when used in terms of autopsy.
It's a fool that listens to the sensationalism through media, who wasn't there, and has very limited privy to the evidence/testimony the Grand Jury was given.
But there are a great number of you that feel that way. How someone can come to such a conclusion without all the facts is beyond me, but there are a lot of folks like you. Many of them are laying on the ground over bridges, stopping traffic, and not allowing EMT workers to answer calls for help. Same with the police. Not to mention the disruption they are placing on the lives of many people. These "organized" protests by special interest groups are keeping cops off their beat just to maintain order. So many other folks are put at risk of the really bad people out there.
Today I heard of a protest going on in Denver over this case, where a police officer on a bicycle was there to aid in students protests to insure order, only to have a car rev up his engine and run him down dragging him for several feet. He is in critical condition after going through several surgeries. And the group mostly black he was assisting, cheered and shouted, "run over him again"!
I only hope there is a special place in Hell for those who have instigated this rush to justice, over race baiters and a media out of control.
Μολὼν λαβέ;1064059942 said:Then you didn't read the coroner's report. The police officer surely did make sure he stopped breathing forever. It was ruled a homicide. In other words, the officer killed him.
I was going off of what was being put out. If he did stop breathing, then someone should have helped him. If the EMTs were there before he actually stopped breathing, then they should have been doing the actions, but I had been told that he was dead when they put him on the stretcher. I just don't know what went on in between. There is no reason that they couldn't have given CPR if he did stop breathing though and they should be equipped for it, otherwise that is a major problem with the police in that area. Definitely expect police to be able to perform basic medical and first aid, including knowing CPR and being able to do it. So, did the medical personnel show up before or after he stopped breathing?
Oh, right. DP is the authoritative site for the ME's quote. :roll:That is not the same quote of the coroner's determination that has been posted here.
No, dude, I'm not making anything up. This quote is all over the media.In the original quote it mentions body positioning, NOT the prone position. And the GJ found there was no or insufficient evidence of excessive force, thus, you're just making stuff up.
Obama likes it when Mayors like de Blasio imply his police force is racist and untrustworthy in a nationally covered speech. Obama later called and praised de Blasio for his words.Yes, we know. Every white/black/asian person out there who supports the protests is a race baiter. Hey, you ever prove that Obama claimed police were out to harass black men?
That does not disprove the claim that the police killed him.You're correct, the ME does state the police actions directly resulted in his death along with several contributing factors. However, the GJ found no/insufficient evidence that the police acted illegally.
