This was very normal police procedure. You place I guy under arrest and if he resists, you take him down, and cuff him.

The cops had no idea of his serious medical conditions. Bottom line, if he did what the cops ordered, he would still be alive today.
the NY medical examiner determined the choke was the cause of death. “Compression of neck (choke hold), compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police.” Eric Garner was doing nothing wrong according to witnesses. even if he was selling loose cigarettes, why does that warrant getting choked to death? why is it necessary for cops to kill people under suspicious circumstances every day and face no consequence for their actions? when a state like South Carolina can get it right, what is New York's excuse? http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/sc-cop-charged-murder-unarmed-man-shooting-27362718

I hate these stats, so misleading. Only 13% of the US population is black!

Implicit in your posts seems to be the assumption that crime rates and arrest rates are equal

I'm not disputing that; I'm saying there's an issue with the overall rates of arrest. *NM*
