NEW YORK: A New York police officer accused of placing a 43-year-old black man in a banned choke hold just before his death in 2014 will not face federal charges, the government said, in a decision slammed by the victim's family as an"insult."
He then appeared to lose consciousness, and the father of six was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.AdvertisementOne medical examiner ruled that the death was a homicide, saying he suffered"compression of neck , compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police.
A New York state grand jury had decided in December 2014 that there was insufficient evidence to support homicide charges, amid claims that Garner suffered from a heart condition and asthma that could have caused his death. It showed Pantaleo putting his arm tightly around the much larger suspect's neck and driving him down to the pavement before releasing him. Meanwhile another officer pressed Garner's head to the pavement, and he complained 11 times that he could not breathe.
