On Thursday, the Huffington Post ran one of its patented subtle headlines regarding the grand jury decision not to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of Eric Garner. “HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER,” the website blared, featuring a picture of a police cap.

Huffington Post, liberals quote it as if it was from God’s lips.
Ben Shapiro rightfully notes that HuffPo neglected to mention that the entire takedown was overseen by a female black NYPD sergeant but then conveniently omits that Eric Garner was taken down by a team of six for a “crime” in which he posed no danger to anyone but the government’s balance sheet.
He isn’t using the left’s incendiary language, but omission of information is just as much a problem just as exaggeration of information. In this context, it makes the incident seem less severe than it was.
We’re conservatives; we should think like rational adults and be able to admit that there were things seriously wrong with the Eric Garner case instead of being tempted to label it “unfortunate” and sweep it under the rug simply because the left has tried to co-opt it.
....Or better yet, support as conservatives those local businesses in the area that want to do their business work in peace.
Every murderer in Detroit gets away with it.
OWS 2.0, get used to it. These cherry picked incidents will continue to fan the flames through 2016.
OWS 1.0 failed to drum up enough outrage to get people into the streets in mass numbers burning cars. The problem is that there are thousands of violent black thugs in situations every week where cops have to act. This makes it easy to cherry pick an incident and spin it as racist white cop attacks innocent black man. Unfortunately the spin on these is working very well in generating outrage, so I think we will see a lot more violent crowds and random black on white killings.
The commies in charge are loving this! They get a chance to re-live the civil rights movement by fabricating a brand new race war.
Maybe we should ban cops.
