Fortunately, the entire NY incident was caught on tape, and that police officer has already been charged with homicide.
The St Louis grand jury will have all the evidence and facts before making their decision on whether to charge the Ferguson police officer.
IMO the strongest evidence in the Ferguson case will be the three autopsy reports which contain irrefutable evidence of the location of the gunshot wounds and the trajectory of the bullets.

Do I remember this correctly that he was asphyxiated, not strangled. Thinking that a number of people laid on him in order to subdue him and caused him to be unable to breathe, rather than to attempt to strangle him around the neck in order to kill him?
Just thought it was so sad. He didn't deserve to die for doing something illegal, just to be arrested.
And the same with Michael Brown. He should have been arrested. But when a person resists arrest, then terrible things can happen, no matter what color you are.
