Why wasn't the police officer who killed Eric Garner indicted?

@astorian

Can even Panatleo’s supporters at least agree that Pantaleo screwed up royally and ought to be booted from the police force?

No, we can’t, because as far as I can tell he did nothing wrong aside from maybe temporarily applying a submission hold that is administratively prohibited.

That, intentioally or not, Pantaleo took dangerous actions that led to the death of a petty criminal who wasn’t doing anything NEARLY bad enough to deserve death?

Pantaleo didn’t kill Eric Garner. Eric Garner killed Eric Garner.
