This case was brought up to a jury, which lasted for nine weeks. Through out those week, the grand jury heard fifty witness, which 22 of them were civilians. In 1993, the chokehold was banned from police officer’s use. Even hearing about that fact, the jury decided that those police officers were not guilty. As the people heard about this decision, they started to protest in the streets of New York. As protest started to get heated, the city decided to take some action. Since his Mr. Garner’s death was caused by a police officer, the city decided to pay the family $ 5.9 million dollars. Is all that money worthy, when you loved one is dead?
