I don't see how you could do anything but indict this officer.

"The cause of Garner’s death was “compression of neck (chokehold), compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police,” the medical examiner’s office has said. The New York City Police Department prohibits chokeholds. The death was ruled a homicide."

This is a completely different case than what happened in Ferguson. There is video evidence of the chokehold being applied (against department policy) and the coroner's office report said that was the main cause of the death. IMO there has to be some type of charge.
