Eric Garner was killed by NYPD officers using a deadly and unauthorized chokehold.
Here is an article from Meditations-On-Life.com arguing that the protests about police brutality should be for Eric Garner, not Michael Brown. Eric Garner was the unarmed black man who was apprehended by police for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes, but even though there were multiple officers and multiple less-lethal means available to apprehend Garner, the police chose to use a potentially deadly and unauthorized chokehold, which the police continued to apply even after Eric Garner made it known that he could not breath.
