Man dies in police custody!

The death of a man in police custody is always a tragedy. But when the man is unarmed and the police officer is using a chokehold, the tragedy is even greater.

On July 16, 2014, Eric Garner died after being placed in a chokehold by a New York City police officer. Garner was unarmed and had been stopped by police for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes.

The officer, Daniel Pantaleo, has been indicted on charges of criminally negligent homicide. But some people believe that the charges should be more serious, such as manslaughter or even murder.

The case has sparked outrage and protests across the country. Many people believe that Garner's death is just one example of the systemic racism that exists in the criminal justice system.

The jury is still out on whether Pantaleo is guilty of a crime. But one thing is for sure: the death of Eric Garner is a tragedy that should never have happened.

In the wake of Garner's death, there have been calls for reform of the police department. Some people believe that the police need to be better trained in how to deal with unarmed suspects. Others believe that the police need to be held more accountable for their actions.

It is important to remember that the police are not the only ones who are responsible for the death of Eric Garner. The entire criminal justice system failed him. The system needs to be reformed so that tragedies like this never happen again.
