I am FURIOUS about this! This lowlife do-nothing criminal was worth more dead than alive. He repeatedly broke the law, he ignored police requests, the officer who laid hands on him was acquitted, and his own obesity and asthma were major contributing factors in his death. Yet 4 million TAXPAYER dollars will be handed over to his scum family for a big payday, courtesy of the NYC taxpayer. Even his illegitimate kid from his sidepiece gets in on the bonanza. No wonder our streets look like a war zone, all torn up and littered. No wonder our students have to sit on radiators, because there are no more seats in the classroom. No wonder we have burnt out street lights and pathetic city hospitals. Look what the idiot politicians and incompetent judges do with our money----give it to a family of criminals and welfare mooches.

Ignore police —>> family hits the Lotto.

You see, selling onesie cigarettes in New York, IS a lucrative business

Horrible, just horrible.

Eric Garner... was 6 ft 3 350-pounds...

“Garner had been arrested by the NYPD more than thirty times since 1980 on charges such as assault, resisting arrest, and grand larceny...”

Yep. Used to be that ‘crime doesn’t pay’ was a truism.

Not any more.

[Timpanagos1]

What crime was he executed for?

2 years. Max. I’ll give these moochers no more than 2 years to blow through this money with nothing left to show for it.

This money will be redistributed back into the system in no time flat.

Then these moochers will be right back in the Welfare System.

[Red Badger]

They will be broke in three years, the money will be back in the city’s coffers and the world will go on.........................

It’s just taxpayer money.

You pay taxes to pay off people....like lawyers.

They dog piled him. He couldn’t breathe and they wouldn’t stop. It was murder. That thug who killed him had 14 complaints with four being confirmed by an independent review board. So, they gave him a raise and jailed the guy who filmed it.

The $$$ ought to come from the police union.

He was breaking the law, but the law he was breaking is the one prohibiting the sale of individual cigarettes, rather than a pack. Protectionism for Big Tobacco. He was meeting a need, being entrepreneurial, albeit in a way that was illegal.

He needed to be arrested; he did not need to be killed. Unlike Michael Brown and most of the others, he was a nonviolent offender who was not engaging in violence either before or during his arrest.

He was apparently choked to death in the process of being arrested, probably accidentally. Still, it shouldn’t have happened.

[vooch]

disagree

he was a small time entrepreneur who ran afoul of leviathan’s rules on involuntary taxation.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The good news is a year from now they will have spent every last cent and then some.

Policy for the City Attorney’s office from DeBlasio, most likely.
