The man who shot the cellphone video showing a police officer using an apparent chokehold on a Staten Island man who later died, was arrested Saturday night on charges that he was carrying a stolen loaded handgun, a law-enforcement official said.
Ramsey Orta, 22 years old, was charged by the New York Police Department with criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a weapon with a previous conviction, police said.

I really should do no typing after midnight.
Discredit the video operator....Do anything to discredit the Garner incident.
Attack the guy who took the video and make whatever he did headlines in an effort to discredit and defuse the situation...
Brilliant!
“Clams can talk!”

This is a warning to anyone videoing the cops....Ya better beware!
Well, unless it's Bill Clinton and most of the Democrat Party leadership...
>>What was that quote from Atlas Shrugged about the law wanting to make all citizens criminals so the arrest card could be played at an opportune time?
I’m pretty sure you’re looking for the first quote on my profile page.
I think the Wehrmacht term for their military police was Kettenhunde (chained dogs) - quite apropos for our US sojer-wannabes, who bark & bite at the pleasure of our un-arrested felonious political masters...
Thanks. That’s it.
Not relevant to this thread.
Have to agree there. Democrats seem to have special permission to engage in criminal activity.
As has been posted already, the testimony of the video operator is not going to be discredited because of his criminal record. The video will be judged on its merits when it is shown at a criminal or civil trial.
"Do anything to discredit the Garner incident."
The Garner incident happened, there are witnesses, The ME ruled it as a homicide, and there is an ongoing investigation. It will be the lawyers who will attempt to do the discrediting of Orta. Opinions at Free Republic are just that.
"Attack the guy who took the video and make whatever he did headlines in an effort to discredit and defuse the situation..."
Perhaps you should write a letter to the editor and voice your dislike of the First Amendment.
"This is a warning to anyone videoing the cops....Ya better beware!"
Quit scaring people. It is their right to record what they see in public.
"I don't object to officers, per se. I object to SWARMS of clams."
Typos are always forgiven. Let he who has never had a typo raise his bottle of white out.
It would be better to advise Orta to stop committing crimes and stay out of casinos.
Your alarming concern over individual rights of non-government people on the streets and their right to video law enforcement in action, made my funny bone recoil.
And all this time I thought you had a recoilless funny bone.
Not relevant to this thread, in your opinion.
Fixed it for you. LOL! :)
Also, I see that you're not a fan of the comic strip BC. Sad - there's some good humor there.
Now, you're just wrong.
There are numerous news stories about Our Finest taking umbrage at being recorded, whether it's the right of a peasant, or not.
Don't encourage the peasantry to to take unnecessary risks.
Chokehold witness says cops taunted him: ‘Karma’s a bitch’
http://nypost.com/2014/08/04/chokehold-witness-says-cops-taunted-him-karmas-a-bitch/
...Ramsey Orta, 22, said a cop told him that “karma’s a bitch” and “what goes around, comes around” while he rode in a NYPD police van after getting busted outside the drug-infested Richmond Hotel on Saturday night...
It's the strangest thing - Orta isn't “one of Obama’s sons”. LOL! :)
This is probably worth a post of its own.
