police officer involved in the death of
Garner is not being indicted in the
borough of Staten Island in New York,
Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2014. A grand jury
cleared the white New York City police
officer Wednesday in the videotaped
chokehold death of Garner, an
unarmed black man, who had been
stopped on suspicion of selling loose,
untaxed cigarettes, a lawyer for the
victim’s family said. A video shot by an
onlooker and widely viewed on the
Internet showed the 43-year-old
Garner telling a group of police officers
to leave him alone as they tried to
arrest him. The city medical examiner
ruled Garner’s death a homicide and
found that a chokehold contributed to
it. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)
