NYPD Choke-holds Staten Island man to death

A Staten Island man dies after NYPD cop puts him in choke hold


A 400-pound asthmatic Staten Island dad died Thursday after a cop put him in a chokehold and other officers appeared to slam his head against the sidewalk, video of the incident shows.

 The entire incident was caught on video from a witness who kept telling the cops that the man had not committed a crime. But evidently, the cops suspected him of selling untaxed cigarettes, which apparently is a very serious crime in New York City.


“Esaw Garner holds a photo of her late husband with sons Emery (left) and Eric.”

"When I kissed my husband this morning, I never thought it would be for the last time," Garner's wife, Esaw, said. She got no details from police until after she had gone to the hospital to identify his body, she said. 
“They’re covering their asses, he was breaking up a fight,” Garner’s mother said. “They harassed and harassed my husband until they killed him. Garner’s family said he didn’t have any cigarettes on him or in his car at the time of his death.
The man complained on video shot by 22-year-old Ramsey Orta that he was tired of being harassed by police officers. 


Within moments Garner, a married father of six children with two grandchildren, ceased struggling and appeared to become unconscious as police called paramedics to the scene. An angry crowd gathered, some recording with smart phones. 


STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Amid calls of police brutality and racism from witnesses and social media users, law enforcement sources maintain that the man who died following an incident with police in Tompkinsville on Thursday afternoon "absolutely resisted arrest" prior to his death.

The man, identified by police as Eric Garner, 43, of Bond Street in Port Richmond, was pronounced dead at Richmond University Medical Center, West Brighton, following the incident, which took place at the intersection of Victory Boulevard and Bay Street at about 4:45 p.m.

Witnesses say Garner was trying to break up a fight in front of a beauty supply store on the corner of Bay and Victory. Garner, who was taller than 6 feet and weighed at least 350 pounds, was a fixture in the neighborhood who often sold loose cigarettes for 50 cents each.

The incident sparked calls of police brutality as residents hung handwritten posters with phrases like "no justice, no peace" and "Another innocent black man has been killed by police brutality. The NYPD must be stopped!" on telephone poles near the scene about an hour after the incident.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television....
