By the way, who is investigating this event? Would it be NYPD and others who happen to work for the same city?
There is no double standard.
Of course not, everything is on the up and up wideawake...Like government agencies like NSA, IRS, NYPD, the attorney general etc etc...
Double standards, lies, deceit, corruption, just don't exist in government..
You betcha wideawake!
Fact 1: Eric Gardner died of natural causes.
Fact 2: His family have asked for, and will get, a full investigation of the incident by an independent body regardless of Fact 1.
Fact 3: Gardner's past bad acts are relevant and will be weighed as part of the process.
Fact 4: the past bad acts of the officers and their department will also be weighed as part of the process.
Fact 5: There is no "double standard" here at all - saying it over and over again will not change your fantasy into a fact.
