New video shows police offered no medical help to unresponsive Staten Island dad Eric Garner

The seven-minute clip posted Saturday on YouTube shows an apparently lifeless Eric Garner, whose head droops to the side as at least eight cops stand nearby.

“C’mon, guy,” one cop says to Garner, the only thing on the video that suggests any of the officers was trying to help the Staten Island man. “Breathe in, breathe out.”

But Garner, on his side with his eyes closed, doesn’t move at all — even when the officer slaps him on the shoulder. The side of his head remains flat against the concrete, and his eyes never open.

At one point, another officer is seen taking a cell phone and a pack of cigarettes from 43-year-old Garner’s pants

Pantaleo, an eight-year veteran, was placed on modified duty Saturday as cops and the Staten Island district attorney investigated the case.

Pantaleo was stripped of his gun and his shield and assigned to work desk duty.

The police union immediately denounced the move as “completely unwarranted.”

Yeah, killing a guy with a banned chokehold that is against nypd procedure is acceptable to quite a few people.
Union goons, badge worshipping morons, and those conditioned to accept such behavior as “okay” and “within reason”.

In before the badge worshippers.

Where’s a taser when ya need it?

Or have those been banned?

The guy apparently broke up a fight. Sure he was mouthing off and obnoxious but the choke move was over the top.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

No medical aid given. This cop, Daniel Panteleo, is a Sociopath

It was also unnecessary. They knew where the guy lived. They could have picked him up at any time when they built whatever case they had against the guy. There wasn’t a need to arrest him right then and there.

I didn't even see it as mouthing off. He was tired of being picked on. His ONLY crime has been selling cigarettes, and the undercover, gangsta wannabe revenue collectors didn't like that. He's an easy mark for tatted up thugs.

Yup.
But to question it makes us “knuckledraggers” in the eyes of the powerphilics.

Remember the name: NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo.
-We’ll see how long he remains on desk duty. That’s his only punishment, I’m betting.

Apparently, there are exceptions. One article I read said the policy has been modified several times since 1993. Also, the autopsy results haven’t been released yet.

What difference should that make? /s

Look at #99 in the background (green jersey)
That's Officer Daniel Pantaleo, laughing it up with one of his cohorts after just choking a guy to death..
Not a care in the world. This is what Sociopaths do. They have ZERO human empathy.

This man’s death sounds similar to what happened to Kelly Thomas in Fullerton, CA.

Doesn't make any to me. But that he was a human being who was snuffed out by tatted up government revenue thugs should make a huge difference to anyone with a conscience. H elooks like he was a good guy to me.
