Okay. when do the riots in Manhattan begin?...............

[stephenjohnbanker]

You mean WHERE?

[bigdaddy45]

Hands up! Don’t choke!!

If nobody’s rioted about the Knicks/Giants/Jets yet, maybe they’ll let this slide too.

CNN and MSNBC just popped the champagne corks. Whoopee. Good times!

One wonders if this is pushback from law-abiding people who have grown weary of being put in a hostage situation by thugs lying in wait.

Riots to begin? Will deblasio arrest rioters and looters?

[Conscience of a Conservative]

Unlike Ferguson, this is a case where the officer(s) involved were clearly in the wrong. The video is pretty damning. And, remember that this incident started because Garner was suspected of selling untaxed cigarettes.

You gotta riot where the stuff you want is, silly!..................

Will deblasio arrest rioters and looters?

He'll lead them.

Thugs lying in wait? This guy (allegedly) sold untaxed cigarettes. That’s it. That’s the “crime” that led to this incident.

Tom Coughlin had better be checking his 401k.................and Rex Ryan, too............

Funny how Megyn Kelly said two nights ago that this indictment was a given. At the time I thought “big mistake” to make such an assumption.

I agree. I'm pretty shocked that there are no charges at all. A regular jury should have looked at all the facts here, including Garner's pre-existing health conditions at the officer's actions.

The coroner did conclude it was a homicide and the police officer who choked him should have had to face a jury.

Over untaxed loosies!

[Fury]

“Brothers”? What does that have to do with this?

The officer used a restraint method (choke hold) that NYPD had previously banned.

Good grief.

When will we hear Bill deBlasio saying “Burn this b——h down!”

[Gay State Conservative]

The video I’ve seen of that incident does seem to make a case at least in favor of negligence on the part of the cop.

[Fury]

Rightly or wrongly, I can see DOJ getting involved in this in regard to a civil rights charge.
