post protest. can we count on any federal charges? something people are counting on? i don t believe there will be federal charges in this case because of the facts and circumstances. we do welcome the fact there will be an open discussion about the, the death of michael brown. what happened in ferguson. that will hopefully broaden the the understanding from those who don t really believe that racism takes place in the criminal justice system. final word to you. you were with protesters in ferguson. how disappointed. will people be if there are no charges in the trayvon martin case, no charges in the michael brown case, and no charges from the feds in eric garner case. sorry, erin, repeat your question. how devastated will people people if there are no charges in any of the three cases from trayvon martin, martin brown, eric garner? i think people are pretty devastated now.
if you are going to deal with a big guy. use special methods. thank you, doctor. next, we are live. continue to be live in the streets of new york. large protest in the fifth hour. spreading to one of the major highways, side of manhattan island. plus a white officer cleared in the death of eric garner. many, even his daughter, say it s not about race. she is our guest. and then, two women very closer to eric garner. his sister and daughter are my special guests out front tonight.
you agree there shouldn t have been an indictment. correct. but you thing if eric garner was white none of this would have happened? no doubt. the same tape that aquits the officer convikts so cts society. if mr. garner was a middle-aged white man. i don t think he would have been arrested. a ticket would have taken place. the medical treatment he received or did not receive was because of his race and economic status. i don t think if he was in mid town, or in upper eastside, the officers would have treated him in the same manner. you are talking, specifically about the four, five, six min the that go by when he is lying there. lying there, breathing. arms are completely dead. on the gurney. lying off to the side. the guy is clearly. in ska pa inca pa incapacitated. they just left him. that s a problem. because what s confusing. this its what its confusing if
out front tonight, criminal defense attorneys, paul martin and mark o mara and marc lamont hill. mark, let me start with you, how can a grand jury defend not charging someone with killing eric garner, if the autopsy conclusion was homicide? well, because homicide is causing of death by another person. it doesn t carry with it criminal liability. now, granted eric garner was alive. cops got there. he was dead. certainly the suggestion would be they caused his death. and they did. the real question that the grand jury, as it was, led by the pros skew to prosecutor if the death was caused by criminal irresponsibility. it wasn t.
of the police officer accused in the killing of mr. eric garner. we ll talk about what the attorney said was told to the grand jury and whether that actually holds up to the video. and we re going to also show you an extraordinary video you may not have seen already. it s a different vantage point on what happened to mr. garner. it s once he s already on the ground and also once emt actually arrives and the question is, did emt do enough? did they really do anything to try to assist him in his distress? we ll be right back.
