Look closely. Pressure is being applied to the side of the neck, not the windpipe. Garner is not being choked.

But Race is not the question if the officers used excessive force and to the issue of how politicians order police to "vigorously" pursue pretty crimes.
NYPD was criminally cleared but still face a wrongful death suit (offset by physical health of the victim and his resisting arrest). It does not help the family to bring race into a civil suit because it raises the bar for the plaintiff.
I also never heard that name without it being in or referring to the movie “Roots.”
“Yes a black female sergeant was on the scene.”
Probably an affirmative action hire with a room temp IQ.
No reason to think she had any of the sergeant skills under her hat.
-> I see tattoos and I think there’s something missing in that person, especially full arm and leg tattoos.
Not in this situation. Not in places that I wouldn’t walk down the street in even with security. This is real time life for that officer not make believe all pretty and nice.
I haven’t stayed here and said what I’ve said over the years to be in a popularity contest. There are just some events that really piss me off. This is one of them. There wasn’t a reason he needed to die for what he was doing.
He wasn’t charging an officer with whom he’d struggled over a gun inside his unit. He just didn’t want to cooperate because he was being hassled because the mayor wanted his tax money. Choke hold, schmoke hold, legal eagle, legal beagle - whatever.. The guy’s forearm pushed in his windpipe - look at the picture. If the guy couldn’t see it, then he damned well should have heard the guy say he couldn’t breathe over and over.
If they haven’t learned already about rights and decency, they’d damned well better learn because if it was me, I’d be hiring the nastiest lawyer I could that would go after them, their houses, their cars, and their pensions.

Perhaps the next time one takes your rights for granted you’ll change your tune.
Horsesh!t. I don’t see what you think you see.
You don’t send a weak person who doesn’t know the criminal element without training into a most dangerous area. All you guys who want polite, those kind of days are over because societal problems are much more worse than problems in your (mine) own lives. Such a disconnect here. But, we can disagree.
30 times??!!
It’ll be interesting to see how long it takes news media, including Fox News, to report this.
“Having that black sergeant in charge of that crime scene takes race out of the equation.
...
It’s all about the color of the skin, not what’s inside as Martin Luther King said.
When anyone refuses to comply with an officer of the law’s order-”You are under arrest” by raising their arms to resist cuffs or knocking police hands away, one may as well have taken a swing and punched the officer/s as they are no different then anyone. They get an adrenaline rush just like anyone does in a damn fight. These effeminate newsmen cannot recall a fight in their life as they are whimps. Once a fight starts their is no guarantee someone will not be hurt/killed.
Kizzy. As I recall, that was Leslie Uggams?
I bet this Kizzy in the NYPD is mid thirties.
What rights were taken away from Garner? This has nothing to do with me and if and how many incidences I could / could not have had with police. The officers were called to the scene, he refused to comply. He was in control of his fate.
I'll second that, and the rest of your post too.
Yes....to your estimation then a perp who does not comply gets the death penalty? with 5 or 6 goons around, he was not in control. THEY killed him because he didn’t submit to their authority. That is probably the thing that pi$$es them off most. They live to enforce their authority unchallenged. They flock to it.
Rush was all over this his first hour. That, and other details not put out in the media...in particular New York’s creation of the very black market in which Garner was participating...and the fact that the police use-of-force problem really does not exist save for the media hype (only the use of police to enforce the draconian cigarette laws in the City, which directly led to the Garner confrontation).
