Still 2 seconds of breaking the law.

To stop homicides like that of Eric Garner – or the NYPD chokehold deaths of Michael Stewart in 1983, and Anthony Baez in 1994 – we can’t just ban chokeholds. The NYPD already did that years ago.

They are cops and they repeatedly break the law of their own workplace. And kill people. Keep defending them.

By the way, I read both of the stories you reference. The Medical Examiner in Stewart initially ruled Stewart died from alcohol intoxication and later changed his findings to death from a choke. At trial he changed his report again and could not say Stewart had definitively died from the choke. He said he didn’t want bad publicity for his office.

Cops found not guilty. Question for you. Wasn’t it nice of the Medical Examiner to politicize the case to put the cops in jail? Did you even bother reading about the case or did you just throw it up there for show?

In the Baez case a jury found the officer NOT GUILTY. The Feds then stepped in and humbugged the cop like they did in the Rodney King case.

Both your examples are poor in saying the choke hold killed those involved.
