A Staten Island grand jury has decided not to bring charges against the New York City police officer whose chokehold resulted in the death of a black man, Eric Garner.
In July, officer Daniel Pantaleo used a chokehold while trying to arrest Garner for selling loose cigarettes without a license. The incident was caught on camera, and Garner can be heard saying "I can't breathe" before he collapses.
