Another grand jury is about to decide if a white police officer did anything wrong when he applied an illegal choke hold that led to another black man being murdered.
The grand jury decision into the death of Eric Garner will come just days after a St. Louis grand jury ruled that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson did absolutely nothing wrong when he chased after a fleeing teenager named Mike Brown and murdered him by pumping six bullets into the scared teen’s body.
“I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe,” Garner cried out after he went down on July 17. Seconds later, the 350-pound man, who suffered from asthma, lay motionless and unresponsive on the sidewalk. An ambulance carried him away on a stretcher.
He was pronounced dead that day at age 43.
The decision is expected sometime this week.
