You are skipping the fact that in NYC, business owners have to pay protection to the government and the mafia and the cops work as enforcers for both. It’s un american to bow before either.
Meh.
New Yorkers made their bed.
I can’t really comment on the details of their society, because I don’t even know about it.
But I do not like distortions of events such as these in order to evoke some emotional reaction on either side of this event.
For instance, it wasn’t a choke hold, he didn’t die from the policeman taking him down in that manner, and he didn’t die in the ambulance or after arriving at the hospital. He was dead very shortly after the arrest.
Truth is the only thing that matters. I do not wish to be mislead by those with agendas.
