stupid police

Just watched a quick story about this case on our local news station.

Interesting to note that many of the "small government" advocates are usually silent when things like this happen...or they even support this type of government behavior .

I was living in Manhattan at the time. That and the Dialo story were both HUGE.

Actually the medical examiner said it and called it a homicide. I think possibly he knows better.

whoa.. you know how to throw a party!:thumbsup

did you see the actual coroners report?

That would be the NYPD :1orglaugh

He said the choke hold killed him directly? - I very much doubt it, unless he broke or seriously damaged something in his neck...

Think about it - You can't suffocate someone in a few seconds.....

How about asking him to put his hands behind his back, and he doesn't comply then you tase him? The dude wasn't resisting at all and didn't seem threatening whatsoever.

that case was different , they jammed a toilet plunger up his ass like 90x and fucked his insides.... those cops deserved to be jailed

But no one wants to hear that. They hear what they want to hear and the popular thing is that Cops are all racist killers.

The guy should of course have obeyed, but giving death sentence on the spot is wrong. Also, I don't think that it is right to give death sentence for that altogether.

The officer(s) shouldn't have killed him. But I don't care that much if US folks kill each other, unless UN declares some peace bombing mission or something like that.

Agreed .....

Actually the ME ruled it was homicide by chokehold. Contributing factors could have been his asthma, weight, etc.

Apparently GFY is smarter than you...


'Eric Garner, the Staten Island dad who complained that he couldn?t breathe as he was subdued by cops, died from compression of the neck, the medical examiner said Friday.

The autopsy also found that compressions to the chest and ?prone positioning during physical restraint by police? killed Garner. The manner of death, according to the medical examiner, was homicide.'

Eric Garner?s death ruled a homicide: NYC medical examiner - NY Daily News

-----------------------------------------------

'A New York City police officer's illegal chokehold killed Eric Garner last month, and his death has been ruled a homicide, the medical examiner announced Friday.'

Uhmmmm....

First, the chokehold was not "illegal" and that very obvious, frequently stated fact being wrongly stated from the start, should have been an immediate red flag for any rational, reasonable, logical person and made it clear the article is pushing an angle and trying to incite others.

Garner's death was found by the New York City Medical Examiner's Office to be a result of compression to the neck, compression to the body, and prone positioning, along with asthma, heart disease and obesity as contributing
factors

Since you guys can't read at all... it means there were multiple contributing factors... not a single factor/action by a single person which killed him.

But hey, who needs facts when you're pushing an agenda?? ;)

police do not suppose to use choke hold, he did, why was he not fired??!!!

Excessive force all the way. The guy was selling cigarettes. No reason to get violent with him so quickly when he wouldn't comply. The autopsy said compression of the neck and chest killed him. All of you guys in here sucking cop-dick should think about if this happened to you for having a beer on the sidewalk or some other minor, bullshit infraction.

Because confronting unarmed big fat black man, who is just standing on the street, is so scary. :)

Also selling loose cigarettes is that kind of felony that you could execute him on the spot, just for that.

Technically not illegal but against NYPD policy, you do understand what the word 'homicide' means, don't you?

So in your police state loving brain, what exactly would a cop have to do to get indicted?

I don't think I can agree with that. That guy while maybe he was agitated, he made no verbal threats and was not acting in a threatening or aggressive manor. The cops clearly did noting but agitate that situation which ultimately lead to his death.

While I do understand cops have a tough job, in this instance they clearly used force when it was not needed. Maybe he was breaking the law, maybe he wasn't, but he certainly was not being violent which required him being put into a chokehold.

Yes maybe he was an asshole or a dick or even a hoodlum, but he didn't deserve to die for what he was doing at that time.

Watch the video you moron, it all happened in just a few seconds. His hands were up and it sure as fuck looked like he was NOT resisting. Also you Dick Head the Choke Hold was banned by NYPD in the 90's... But we all value the opinion of some 70 year old Shmuck that needs a walker to get around in.... God you are beyond ridiculous, I would love to see you with a Police Baton shoved up your ass.... Yup JUSTIS AMERICAN STYLE, but you love that don't you douche_dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from the ones saying that cops lack compassion...
