Unlike in Ferguson, the evidence in Eric Garner’s case is plain to see. Pantaleo clearly put Garner in a chokehold, which N.Y.P.D. protocol forbids. Garner’s wails (“I can’t breathe”) are conspicuously unheeded. He never resists arrest, and appears not to have been told he was being arrested in the first place. When the coroner’s report came out, a month later, the cause of death was unequivocal: compression of the neck and chest.
