Politician: Garner Died Because He Was Fat–Cop Choke Hold Had Nothing To Do With His Death (Video, picture)

(Before It's News)

Cop and bullets don’t kill people: being fat, running does. Scary when politicians sound more like SNL comics than elected officials.

“Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) is hailing Wednesday’s grand jury decision not to indict a white police officer in the death of a black New Yorker during a physical arrest in August.

“You had a 350-pound person who was resisting arrest. The police were trying to bring him down as quickly as possible,” King told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “If he had not had asthma and a heart condition and was so obese, almost definitely he would not have died from this. … The police had no reason to know he was in serious condition,” King added.

Some Democrats are outraged following the decision surrounding the incident that was captured on video and showed New York police officer Daniel Pantaleo applying a chokehold on Eric Garner during the deadly confrontation.

But the New York lawmaker said criticism is misplaced, arguing that Garner’s weight and multiple medical conditions are to blame for the tragic ending.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.  MOREHERE
