Matan1 -“He did deny wrongdoing, but I don’t see why that’s relevant. In America, everyone is entitled to a trial and is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.”
He entitled to a trial after he’s arrested!
“Let’s say he did resist arrest and pushed the cop (which the video clearly shows to be false). How does that give the cop the right to put him in a dangerous chokehold? It’s not like Garner was a threat. There were multiple officers around him, so I doubt that he could have hurt anyone.”
When s/o has to get arrested or even just has to be questioned, the cop is allowed to restrain him, ie. put him in handcuffs. He knew better, Not to resist!
