I wonder why he did not ask where “loosies” come from.
The answer is that the come from cigarettes stolen by the mob.
Garner was a mob hanger on whose job it was to sell them on the street.
Also I saw somewhere that he strong armed store owners and customers.
I think for some kind of protection racket.
At any rate, he was low life.
The ability to diagram sentences?
I can answer that.
S/he brings one of two things, and often both: a confused way of thinking and a lying tongue.
I guess the media will milk it until the cows come home...or until sponsors stop paying for that garbage.
How long did it take for Katrina to go away, or for Trayvon to go away?
I know, I keep catching myself hoping a plane goes missing.
Those that can, do. Those that can’t teach. Those that can’t teach, write for Time.
OR our PimpPrez could bow, nose-to-knee to another middle eastern, European, Asian, African or South American despot or leader. That always makes the news.
Sigh. You're right, of course. It took FOREVER.
Cops should stop shooting dogs.
Well, they were both petty thugs with records who resisted arrest, attacked officers, and - in one case because he charged the officer, in the other case because the guy had pre-existing health problems that he would have known but the officers did not - both of them died through through their own stupidity.
Is this the image blacks want to give of themselves? Really and truly?
I think I found them. Warning: Excessive profanity.
Wait, wasn’t Trayvon the spark?

Mr. McWartner is rooting for a race war.
Even when my son steals from a store, refuses a cops order and tries to take his gun, he shouldnt get shot. And he shouldnt--"
Shouldn't he?? Seriously?? Man, if this had been a member of my own family, and the cop had been black, I still wouldn't be on MB's side.
I mean, these people are collectively losing their minds. If a criminal killing a cop doesn't matter to you at all, but a cop killing a criminal brings you out into the streets, there is something WRONG WITH YOU.
Eric Garner had asthma, was morbidly overweight, had high blood pressure and heart problems. The autopsy report was that his throat and neck had no damage - the accepted hold did not damage his throat or neck. Garner had a heart attack and died. Would he have had a heart attack if police had not bothered him? Maybe not.
Why were the police there? Businesses in that area contacted the police dept. because Garner was in front of their businesses selling illegal cigarettes and bothering customers coming in and going out of their stores. The cops were responding to these complaints.
Garner had been arrested over 30 times. He was no stranger to police. He resisted arrest and the cops had to take him down to get his arms behind his back so they could handcuff him. Now, if they had known he was going to have a heart attack, I'm sure they would have called an ambulance to transport him to a hospital where he would be in a guarded room, likely handcuffed to the bed.
Must cops now ask a person for his/her health report before arresting him/her? What about the person not breaking the law over and over on purpose? Garner would be alive today had he not been committing criminal acts and had he not fought with police. Police did not kill him - he caused his own death by resisting arrest to the point he had a heart attack.
And, there was a black woman police officer there the whole time. An ambulance was called when it was determined the man was not breathing.
Why not write... Micheal Brown Was the Spark- Eric Garner Is the Fire? Or Ferguson Was the Spark - New York Is the Fire?
The professor needs to reflect on that.
The word "pragmatic".
