This second shocking video has surfaced on the death of Eric Garner, which continues to spark outrage in his Staten Island community and beyond. Footage captured right after New York City police put him in a chokehold against the ground Thursday, which reportedly led to his death, shows emergency medical technicians ignoring the 43-year-old man dying on the ground and failing to give any aid. The New York Post posted the video of Garner on the sidewalk lifeless as police, who had previously slammed him to the ground and put him in a chokehold, stood around. The 7-minute video shows several NYPD officers crouched around Garner, who is handcuffed and not moving. One officer suggested they should call an ambulance, but instead, the team of police searched his pockets. The Post noted that none of the EMS workers had the required equipment like an oxygen bag or a defibrillator on the scene. Instead, they should have immediately placed Garner on a stretcher, checked his airway, breathing and circulation and hooked up an oxygen mask. “They jumped him and they were choking him. He was foaming at the mouth,” Ramsey Orta, 22, who recorded the first released video, told The New York Daily News. “And that’s it, he was done. The cops were saying, ‘No, he’s OK, he’s OK.” He wasn’t OK.” A funeral for Eric Garner will be held Wednesday at Bethel Baptist Church in Brooklyn. ibtimes/eric-garner-death-nypd-chokehold-second-video-showing-emts-not-helping-man-raises-more-1635388 SIGN the petition: https://change.org/petitions/nypd-internal-affairs-end-police-brutality-itstopstoday
