i am more concerned with the need for police training so this doesn t happen again. okay. let me go to mr. cavanagh. we ve talk about solutions. the president led the way on monday and i was very impressed. he said police cameras on the person of the policeman, training, arrest methods, obviously. how do you de-escalate an incident like this? a recruitment of minorities? here you see white police officers who have been trained not to use chokeholds and it is on film. all the solutions, or rather, problems identified. and here we go again. right. if you watched the video of mr. garn he, when the officer gets on his back for the takedown, he puts his hands, like, okay, okay. he is not punching them. he is not resisting, physically resisting.
breathe and that police officer showed deliberate indifference, that s intent. someone is screaming, i cannot breathe. i am more concerned with the need for police training so this doesn t happen again. okay. let me go to mr. cavanagh. we ve talk about solutions. the president led the way on monday and i was very impressed. he said police cameras on the person of the policeman, training, arrest methods, obviously. how do you de-escalate an incident like this? a recruitment of minorities? here you see white police officers who have been trained not to use chokeholds and it is on film. all the solutions, or rather, problems identified. and here we go again. right. if you watched the video of mr. garn he, when the officer gets on his back for the takedown, he puts his hands, like, okay,
jim, 11 times eric garner said he couldn t breathe. was this proper police work or was it a crime? it s excessive force because you can only use the force necessary to make the arrest. the officer clearly has his arm sunk deep in mr. garner s throat. he is choking him. mr. garn he says he can t breathe. the medical examiner says the chokehold in the chest compressions resulted in his death. if that s not a chokehold, i m the queen of england. that s a chokehold. you can say it was perfectly said or wasn t mixed martial arts hand positioning or something. but it gets to be ridiculous. it is like someone showing you a picture of a camel and telling you it s a horse. that s a chokehold. the question is, is it excessive force? we know it is against the nypd policy because it results in death. so it clearly is excessive force. and the civil rights division at
