Eric Garner chokehold death – another case of black-white divide in the US

The black-white divide is becoming more and more pronounced in the US. It has come to the surface yet again in the Eric Garner case in New York – it is similar to the Ferguson case where an 18-year-old black teenager Michael Brown was shot dead by a white police officer or the Trayvon Martin case in Florida. In the demonstrations in Ferguson, there were over 100 arrests and destruction of 12 commercial buildings by fire.
In the Eric Garner case, a white New York City police officer was cleared in the chokehold death of an unarmed black man who had been stopped on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes. The reason was that Eric had bad heath that caused his death. Chokehold is banned under NYPD policy.
It seems Eric Garner was choked to death by Officer Daniel Pantaleo and the grand jury of Staten Island did not indict him in the death of Eric on July 17.
Anyway, the NYPD has stripped Pantaleo of his gun and badge and placed him on desk duty while the case was under investigation. He would be suspended while the NYPD conducts an internal probe that could finally result in administrative charges.,br>
