regardless what other health conditions were present.

So what Rep. King is saying, in effect, is that Eric Garner was responsible for his own death due to his health problems.

Another compassionate right wing douche showing what he really thinks about human beings being murdered and having it videoed, can't look past the fat there you can you, you right wing hypocrite and you pass laws, that's scary to say the least.
And what is really disingenuous is that the media such as CNN already knows this hypocrite(s) modus operandi and whoever brings him on the air to fill there segment with more fear and hate.
They don't challenge this hypocrite, because there afraid he will not come back on the air, so what, leave him off where tired of his rhetoric and where tired of where he sits on conference committee(s) in his right wing congress and spreads more hate and fear because he is not challenged there.
If he is, he tells you to shut -up and will put you on the defensive , thats how a right winger operates, he is not going to have any of it, and to hell with the first amendment, its Kings and his band of merry men right wing laws or no laws.
Just think he represents other human beings in his district and he has a total disdain to life and liberty and to top it all off he makes $174,000 a year and has done nothing except pass dispersions and blame others, he never blames himself but others, if you don't think or ACT like him and his constituents.

With all my heart and soul that these feckless hypocrites and there cronies at the so called media are not challenging this hypocrite and others of the problem, he and others like him are the problem.
He has absolutely has no moral character to represent a wet paper bag, let alone a HUMAN BEING or ANIMAL a person was killed.
And we out here in the hinder land see the problem and HE keeps getting into office, and others of his ILK, saying that we don't know reality and that we are delusional.
WE have to really say;
Thank you to the U. S. Supreme Court, (sarcastically) they are really to blame for this crap with the campaign finance laws, this is just insane.
CNN wonders why they are dead last in viewership, they don't do anything, but once in a while one of there journalist will do and say something to show the hypocrisy.
But we have these journalist or these moderators on these news shows who should really question these jerks about this and other deaths is not a seven minute segment or a rating gimmick.
They should say to these jerks, you have had your say, now here's mine and answer yes or no to the question, and when they don't, look them right in the eye and say its a really fundamental question YES or NO, back up your statement with facts, don't cut me off, or try talk over me, just answer the question.
Then a lot of people will see a blathering idiot whoever is being questioned this is not ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT or TMZ,

then the officer saw that and therefore should have known that his actions would cause the death of this man.

Don't be of a large build and black .. you may get strangled to death.
Don't be a child with a toy gun and black .. you may get shot dead.
Don't hold your hands up and be black .. you may get shot dead.
Don't get handcuffed and black .. you may got shot dead.

Don't have a health condition and be black .. you may be shot, strangled or beaten to death.

As I have recently have found out. Sure they smell and fill up all at the wrong times, but I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for a shit bag. People like Peter King are vile and are truly the ones who lack any value. They couldn't possibly get any lower if they slithered on their bellies.

If a man jumps off a tall building, and someone shoots him to death on the way down, is it murder? The answer is "yes." You'd think a graduate of Notre Dame law school would know that.

Absent the choking and chest compression, Eric Garner would not have died. That's why the medical examiner called it a homicide.

for why Eric Garner is dead is irrelevant. What is relevant is that Eric Garner is dead because of a fatal encounter with the NYPD that should not have been fatal or even violent.
