It's still police brutality as the article mentions "NYPD protocol prohibits the use of chokeholds.", the question is how responsible is the police officer for Eric's death.
I don't believe there's any deliberate targeting of black individuals like 90% of the people (exaggeration) in the comment section of the video are claiming.
