Lost in the racial outcry over the decision to not indict white police officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of Black petty criminal Eric Garner is the key fact that the attempt to arrest Garner was overseen by a Black female police sergeant.
Black female Police sergeant Kizzy Adoni supervized the fatal arrest of Eric Garner.
The Black female police sergeant is not shown in the countless replays in the media of cellphone footage that showed white male police officers confronting and taking down Garner but she is said to be seen in the video.
From a police report reported by PIX11 in July, the sergeant’s name appears to be Kizzy Adoni.
“Another female sergeant, Kizzy Adoni, made a similar statement in the report. She “believed she heard” Garner say he was having difficulty breathing. Adoni also said “The perpetrator’s condition did not seem serious and he did not appear to get worse.””
There is no mention of Adoni in a Google News search of the latest reports on the Garner decision.
There are very few mentions at all that a Black female sergeant oversaw the attempted arrest of Garner.
NBC News in New York reported the sergeants at the scene were offered immunity for their testimony before the grand jury.
“Pantaleo is the only NYPD member facing possible indictment. Others at the scene, including two sergeants, were offered immunity for their testimony to the grand jury.”
Denis Hamill wrote at the New York Daily News that a federal civil rights case will likely be scuttled by the presence and oversight of Pantaleo’s actions by the Black female sergeant–who did not intervene in the attempted arrest.
“Pantaleo who applied the lethal chokehold on Eric Garner was supervised by an African-American female NYPD sergeant.
“Having that black sergeant in charge of that crime scene takes race out of the equation. As awful as Pantaleo’s actions appear on that video, at no time does that black sergeant order Pantaleo to stop choking Garner.
…”Any chance of a federal civil rights case will be hampered by that African-American police sergeant’s presence.”
Does Attorney General Eric Holder know?
He just opened a civil rights investigation on Eric Garner’s death.
Blocking traffic?

Come on, the question was legitimate and not complex.
You always obey and comply with government, right?
Ok. Let’s see if I can answer your irrelevant hypothetical. When the light turns red, I stop. Because I am a sniveling slave of the state. You got me!
DeBlasio is on record defending the use of a choke hold.
That's OK, I'm not going to hold that against you.
Next time you buckle up we can be happy slaves together.
we can be happy slaves together.
Good luck!
Every time you buckle up you make a white cop smile.
Not sure what seat belts have to do with anything here.

Ya see I used vehicle safety restraints prior to government making it law with penalties attached.
FWIW-
“Yes a black female sergeant was on the scene. The officers were ordered to arrest Garner by a black precinct commander after receiving numerous complaints from black storeowners whose businesses were suffering as a result of Garner selling loosies.”
I heard a caller to an NYC radio station today, who claimed to be a cop in that Staten Island precinct, state that NYPD Chief of Department Philip Banks (Who resigned in October after 28 years) was at a community meeting in that SI neighborhood the morning of this incident. Allegedly, at this meeting local shop owners complained to him about the amount of un-taxed cigarettes being sold in the area. The cop said that Chief Banks instructed the local precinct commander to do something about this ASAP. He in turn put pressure on his officers to deal with the situation, which this cop interpreted to mean make some arrests. That is why, he claimed, the 4+ cops responded to the incident along with the sergeant. Obviously, there is no way to know if this is true, but if it is it could explain why the POs were so adamant about arresting this guy. If true, I wonder if the Grand Jury heard about this?
I am beginning to think all this affirmative action stuff is a bad idea. /S
Watch the video, starting at 1:20.

The cops must have had 10 other options other than to choke the man to death.
Where’s the humanity?
Because the mobster liberals need to protect their $6/pack tax racket!
Dozens of police/emt/lawyers/goons @ $90-$250/hr each to ruff up a non-conforming tax-dodger selling individual cigs... Have to send a message every once in a while... u know.
I really didn’t say legal or illegal I can recall - I could be wrong. I was looking at the picture and what I saw.
And in the end, he died at the hands of the police. No amount of equivocation can erase that.
Instead of trashing the cop you may want to consider that undercover cops wear things including real or fake tattoos to try and fit in to play a part.
Yeah...he was wearing a ‘sleeve’ Yep.....
Yeah...he was wearing a ‘sleeve’ Yep.....
