Same for asthma attacks - Garner was not having one of those either.
Shut up, coach. The two situations were very different. I don’t feel a need to “make up for” my views on Ferguson, because I think those views were correct.
Another cowardly ‘cops are always right’ conservative.
Blogpimp ping!
Cops kill more whites than blacks. What I’d like to know is whether blacks kill more cops than whites.
Photoshoppers: For all these sports celebrities wearing “Hands up Dont Shoot” and “I can’t breathe” shirts, can you superimpose “I promote lies to further an agenda”?
“basing their judgment on a two minute video”
Who ya gonna believe, me or your lyin’ eyes?
It is next to impossible to convict police officers in cases where they are trying to arrest someone and the person they are trying to arrest is resisting arrest.
We’ve had several notable cases here in CA. Recall in the first trial for the police officers in the Rodney King case, the jury sided with the police.
We also had another case in Fullerton where the police were charged with using excessive force in subduing a homeless man.
Convictions are always hard to obtain in these cases involving the police, because intent is always a very big factor.
These cases are different. Sue me, I noticed.
Well at least he didn’t say it was high taxes that killed him. LOL
Pathetic isn't it? Way too many on the right run around in circles about race.
This idiot can’t tell the difference between the two cases. He is a moron of the highest degree. And he is also the real racist.
Nonsense.
Eric Garner was killed because he was threatening NYC’s steady flow of tax revenue.
The man was killed over a small amount of tax monies.
The guy had a huge arrest record, and he resisted arrest. He unfortunately was in poor health.
And there’s no evidence that the alleged “chokehold” in any way caused his death.
Some have mentioned that the crime was negligable, selling individual cigarettes, and the democrat run governments greed for taxes, but that doesn’t erase the facts above.
IMO some conservatives are trying to appease the racebaiters on this one. No good will come of it.
Coach is right.
The Ferguson incident really shut down the “All Cops are Scum” crowd here at FR. At least temporarily.
Now that Garner has been “Murdered by a JBT”; we see them crawling out of their mom’s basement to speak their losertarian rhetoric all over the place again.
