Patrol Officer James Gatzounas

Back in the 70’s there was very little known about high cholesterol, and tests were not routinely performed during a physical . The physicals performed by doctors today may have flagged the need for statin drugs to lower his cholesterol, but that was not routine then. The autopsy showed that Officer Gatzounas suffered a heart attack without taking into account the beating and kicking his body suffered, specifically about his chest. He was black and blue.
Imagine how you would feel if this happened to your loved one? Thugs beating Officer Jim down until his heart collapsed qualifies being charged with first degree murder? Any person in these circumstances would have a high probability of heart damage.
The D.A.s office reduced the charges stating any person with his cholesterol issue could have had a heart attack running up a flight of stairs is definitely not right! His fellow police officers unable to get through the raucous crowd enabled the Thugs to continue kicking and punching this man.
He died at the scene because the severe beatings brought on the attack. They never let up and he didn’t die climbing up stairs.
When will we wake up and uphold the laws of right from wrong?
