Description: "I can't breathe." It's been five years since we heard Eric Garner say those final words. He said it 11 times. Garner's death was ruled a homicide by a medical examiner. Still, one day before the statute of limitations for the case expired, Attorney General Bill Barr, America's top law enforcement officer, made the decision to not prosecute Officer Daniel Pantaleo in his death.
