If a dozen cops can’t handle a simple daytime arrest of an obese person without doing something wrong and killing him, then something is wrong.

You obviously have never tried to make an arrest on a subject under the influence of certain drugs or combination of drugs. I have and had my ass kicked in the process. I have also had to combat a person under arrest and handcuffed as the person was trying to ram his head through a brick wall. You do what you have too do to survive.....

I have had to fight and subdue plenty of stoned and/or drunk men but why in the world do you want to start talking about that?

What in the world does your post have to do with my post?

And was this lazy fat ass just trying to survive? Woman is now dead because he wouldn’t take a few more steps.

I am sorry, but this case here, is fully on video, this man was not doing anything threatening to anyone, he was arguing his case, yes, but his resisting was all of “don’t touch me” and pulling his arm away, to which a cop jumped on his back and choked him out, against NYPD policy and those actions caused the mans death. I am all for cops keeping the peace, and yes I don’t think the cop in question had any intention of killing the suspect, but the fact he violated policy, escalated what to that point was a completely no violent situation, and killed a man and yes, the death was ruled HOMOCIDE which means he killed him, and doesn’t get indicted for any criminal charges at all as a result? That’s not doing what you need to survive.

This cop screwed up, and screwed up royal.. any argument otherwise is not one that can be defended.

Mr. Garner was not a threat to the officers...At no time during the video does he threaten or indicate that he will attempt to harm one of the officers...with his size and physical stature, he was not a flight risk...He could not have run 10 yards if you had paid him to...
