Regulation CONFLICT:asking a person resisting arrest about their pre-existing health problems..

[healthmyths]

The Garner case which shows he had pre-existing problems was NOT caused by a "CHOKEHOLD" which almost all Americans have been led to believe by the extremely biased MSM.. BUT because the hold which is legal "SUBMISSION HOLD" designed to put the person to sleep...sleeper hold!

Garner did not die of asphyxiation, as the head of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association noted at the time. The preliminary autopsy showed no damage to Garner’s windpipe or neck bones.

He was applying a submission hold, which is not barred by the NYPD, and is designed to deprive the brain of oxygen by stopping blood flow through the arteries. So say the experts on submission holds.
It appears that the so-called chokehold was instrumental in triggering Garner’s pre-existing health problems and causing his death, but Garner was not choked to death, as the media seems to maintain.
According to Garner’s friends, he “had several health issues: diabetes, sleep apnea, and asthma so severe that he had to quit his job as a horticulturist for the city’s parks department. He wheezed when he talked and could not walk a block without resting, they said.”


So now De Blasio went further, of course, calling for “action” and suggesting that the incident represented the culmination of “centuries of racism.”
The Actual Facts of The Eric Garner Case
De Blasio should be aware that when officers ask if there are "pre-existing health problems" of any future apprehensions ...before specifically using the "submission hold".

WHICH is in total conflict then with HIPAA and the privacy of Patient Health Information!

Classic illustration of over regulations conflicting with over regulations of this womb to tomb society!
If the officers had asked Garner BEFORE the submission hold about his pre-existing health problems...
BINGO HIPAA violation! Lawsuits!
What will be done folks in this over regulated society especially in this administration's penchant for BIG government!

His death was ruled a homicide. Dying from diabetes is not a homicide.

There are serious consequences for resisting arrest. If you have serious health problems you should avoid resisting arrest as it may cause even more serious issues.

I agree! Resisting arrest can cause more problems if you have heart issues, overweight,etc... so the first step is DON'T RESIST!

BUT...homicide in the medical parlance... not murder... in the legal parlance.
BIG BIG DISTINCTION...
But “homicide” in this context doesn’t mean what you think. It’s one of five categories medical examiners use to label causes of death and it indicates that “someone’s intentional actions led to the death of another person,” says Gregory G. Davis, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners.
The other four labels are suicide, accident, natural, and undetermined, Davis says.

So in a medical examiner’s report “homicide” just means one person intentionally did something that led to the death of someone else.
It doesn’t mean the death was intentional and it doesn’t mean it was a crime.

Criminally negligent homicide, on the other hand, is a class E felony in New York State. Someone who commits it can go to jail for around one to four years. A lot of things are class E felonies in New York State, like arson, computer trespass, auto stripping and residential mortgage fraud.

There are serious consequences for resisting arrest. If you have serious health problems you should avoid resisting arrest as it may cause even more serious issues.

There are also serious consequences for the use of excessive force.

At there is if the criminal justice system is functioning properly.

Stop pretending Garner's health matters.

Good point. It certainly didn't matter to him.
