Naturally the media is calling him a gentle giant like they did with michael brown. The cops most likely knew about his past and knew they were dealing with a dangerous man.
Death of Eric Garner - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Eric Garner (September 15, 1970 – July 17, 2014) had been employed as a horticulturist at the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.[18] Garner was a 350-pound (160 kg), 43-year-old, 6'3" (1.91 m) tall, African American man.[5][6] He has been described by his friends as a "neighborhood peacemaker" and as a generous, congenial person.[12] He had six children.[8] Garner had been previously arrested and was out on bail for selling untaxed cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession, and false personation. Garner had a criminal record that includes more than 30 arrests dating back to 1980 on charges such as assault, resisting arrest, grand larceny. An official said the charges include multiple incidents in which he was arrested for selling unlicensed cigarettes.[19][20][21]
