Black female Police sergeant Kizzy Adoni supervized the fatal arrest of Eric Garner.

Lost in the racial outcry over the decision to not indict white police officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of Black petty criminal Eric Garner is the key fact that the attempt to arrest Garner was overseen by a Black female police sergeant.
Black female Police sergeant Kizzy Adoni supervized the fatal arrest of Eric Garner.
The Black female police sergeant is not shown in the countless replays in the media of cellphone footage that showed white male police officers confronting and taking down Garner but she is said to be seen in the video.
From a police report reported by PIX11 in July, the sergeant’s name appears to be Kizzy Adoni.
“Another female sergeant, Kizzy Adoni, made a similar statement in the report. She “believed she heard” Garner say he was having difficulty breathing. Adoni also said “The perpetrator’s condition did not seem serious and he did not appear to get worse.””
There is no mention of Adoni in a Google News search of the latest reports on the Garner decision.
There are very few mentions at all that a Black female sergeant oversaw the attempted arrest of Garner.
NBC News in New York reported the sergeants at the scene were offered immunity for their testimony before the grand jury.
“Pantaleo is the only NYPD member facing possible indictment. Others at the scene, including two sergeants, were offered immunity for their testimony to the grand jury.”
Denis Hamill wrote at the New York Daily News that a federal civil rights case will likely be scuttled by the presence and oversight of Pantaleo’s actions by the Black female sergeant–who did not intervene in the attempted arrest.
“Pantaleo who applied the lethal chokehold on Eric Garner was supervised by an African-American female NYPD sergeant.
“Having that black sergeant in charge of that crime scene takes race out of the equation. As awful as Pantaleo’s actions appear on that video, at no time does that black sergeant order Pantaleo to stop choking Garner.
…”Any chance of a federal civil rights case will be hampered by that African-American police sergeant’s presence.”
Does Attorney General Eric Holder know?
He just opened a civil rights investigation on Eric Garner’s death.
They never mentioned her race because race doesn’t matter in a colorblind United States. Neither does the race of anyone else in the story.
Holder: Keep this crisis going!
A lot of facts with this case being ignored. He should have not resisted. Stupid insane law by the liberal establishment, can’t talk about that either, can they.
Shhhh. You’ll mess up the narrative
Yes a black female sergeant was on the scene. The officers were ordered to arrest Garner by a black precinct commander after receiving numerous complaints from black storeowners whose businesses were suffering as a result of Garner selling loosies. And to top it off Garner had been arrested 30 times prior for selling the untaxed butts and he knew the drill, only this time he decided to resist.
Cigarettes and taxes, and a city that revels in the collection of such while simultaneously trying to keep people from using it.
As far as I’m concerned, there wasn’t any reason for this man to die, and I don’t care what kind of takedown a LEO would describe it, when he says over and over, “I can’t breathe” I don’t care if his actions required putting him in a position that might cause death - the cops aren’t there to kill him. Even police chases are sometimes terminated when life and property are in harm’s way.
As far as I’m concerned, they killed him needlessly with no regard for his life. If I were on the jury in a civil suit, the NYPD would be shelling out multiple millions in a wrongful death award.
Black sergeant, white sergeant...doesn’t make any difference IMHO.
If the cop applied a legal hold, then it doesn’t make any difference. If the cop applied an illegal hold, then it was done too quickly to make any difference. This is something that was played out in seconds, not hours.
It would only make a difference if the sergeant ordered the hold. And I doubt very much that that happened.
Look at the tattooed leg and arms of that one LEO goombah....
I noticed that too. How that can be considered cool or attractive is beyond me.
That's camouflage for moving about the hood undetected.

They don’t work the toy aisles at TRUS. Do you want polite guy/gal working in places like Hunts Point.
How can sergeants, present on the scene, be given immunity from the ongoing actions of patrol officers?
It would be different if it was one shot, one punch, but this was a chokehold continuing for something like a minute.
It makes no sense at all for a supervisor to get immunity when under his/her command commits a wrongful, ongoing action witnessed and unchecked by the supervisor, especially in any profession where there are very clear lines of authority and hierarchy - law enforcement, health care, education, military.
Boy are you in the minority here.
Dominant rap here seems to be Death for Speeding Ticket.
And as far as "police" officers covered in tattoos, you can count me out. Just one gang of braying thugs going after another, no reason to extend them the respect of calling them Peace Officers.
The video shows the whole thing. They swarmed the guy for a minor bust, turned it into a violent encounter.
Lois Lerner and John Koskinen have committed far worse crimes. Was there a squad of tattooed thugs that wrestled her to the ground when she took the 5th?
Not really. I think there are plenty of badass men out there without tattoos, myself. I’ve known plenty.
I see tattoos and I think there’s something missing in that person, especially full arm and leg tattoos. Yep, it’s visual discrimination, so what?
Yeah, we do. The police are supposed to be the respectable face of the State as elected by the citizenry, not a gang of howling thugs themselves.
Standards are hard but they are standards.
Would I believe the testimony of this group of head bangers?
Not for a millisecond.
“From a police report reported by PIX11 in July, the sergeant’s name appears to be Kizzy Adoni.”
Kizzy? Parents must have been big fans of “Roots”
That’s why this isnt going to lead to any big blow up.
Either you side with the black male victim of AmerKKKa or the “strong black sister”.
Either way, you better just walk away.
I agree.
Yep. Hard to tell the difference between legal and illegal thugs these days.
I guess legal thugs get no-billed by a Grand Jury.
