Bring the police officers responsible for the death of Eric Garner to justice.

The Issue

On July 17th 2014 Eric Garner was murdered by police brutality.  They previously attempted to arrest him for breaking up a fight.  

Then they senselessly beat up the guy mercilessly.  One of them had him in a chokehold and the man said that he couldn't breath but they kept beating him anyway.  Within minutes he died. This kind of behavor should never be allowed within the police force.  They are here to serve and protect, not to beat and murder.  I don't want to live in a country where I can get murdered by police because I did something that was miniscule, didn't matter, and most importantly not a crime.  I hope that you bring these "cops" to justice and prevent one less death like this.
