That’s WACIST more like it...
He caused a lot of death and mayhem before he was stopped.
I didn’t read all the comments so I hope that this isn’t a repeat. I see both sides. Example, I have watched 1000’s videos on the net that show without a doubt cops violating peoples rights and breaking laws that they have no right to break in keeping the peace. That’s right, cops are here to keep the peace by enforcing the law, that’s what the SCOUS says. So there are bad cops. However there are good cops too. So here’s the problem, the good cops need to expose the bad cops but the blue line comes to play. So the bad cop does something wrong, then the good cop does nothing and gets the same bad name as the bad cop, even though he/she is a good cop. Weed out the bad apples and over time things will change.

Yes, I am aware of that..
The thing that gets me with the ‘Volunteers’ getting run off in Ferguson, if the Police were ‘doing their job’, the Vols probably wouldn’t have been needed.
I am a backer and supporter etc of Oath Keepers and I can see where them showing up may have been of some concern. Again, if the Police were ALLOWED to do what WE are paying them for, we wouldn’t have had a need for “OK’s”.
I don’t know whose brilliant idea it was to handle situations in this manner- letting the LAWBREAKERS tire themselves out— but it sure isn’t worth the price we are ‘paying’.
As I said earlier, Really can’t see this ending well...
How about instead of ‘Hands Up! Don’t Shoot’
use
“Hands Up So You CAN’T Loot.. and we won’t shoot”
I know someone on the force in a Western city where there was an accident where several police officers escorting a protest march were struck by a car (supposedly the driver had a seizure and it wasn’t intentional). One was dragged by the car is still in critical condition, another had his pelvis crushed...and the protesters (high school students) cheered when they saw that the officers had been hit.
Obama and Holder have somehow managed to redirect the anger from where it should be directed - criminals - to the very people who put their lives on the line every day trying to stop them.
The two of them are despicable, cowardly creeps.
It is not surprising that vigilantees crop up in situations such as Staten Island. The police union has to do a better job of filtering out abusive cops.
Funny how as soon as they were the ones in the cross-hairs, college riots abruptly stopped, ain’t it?

Yes, and all the other BS stopped in short time.
It was ‘amazing’ how the RA(and US) troops stood at the Pentagon while all the little spoiled brats were trying to antagonize them by spitting and throwing stuff in their direction.
Considering LBJ and ‘The (Not SO) Gret Society’. the pardoning of the Cowards and Deserters and Draft Dodgers was a another ‘slap in the face’ towards all those that tried to live by the rules.
Also remember that when the Draft stopped the same spoiled brats dropped support of all the Black Groups they had been financing and pushing - along with all the enlightened, liberated, White Females that ‘were down with the struggle’. Course all of ‘Them’ were handled well also. s/
Yes, exactly, the .mil guys peg them as REMF’s.
Graphic dutifully stolen for the Nut-Job Conspiracy Theory ping list...
In warfare that is called a “decapitation”.
Well...you know what they say, “if it quacks like a duck”.
My sense of NYPD sentiment is, “Bring it!”
***Mark Essex ( New Orleans, January 1973).***
I saw that shootout on live TV. Essex used a .44 Mag tube fed Ruger Deerslayer rifle.
I certainly agree that there are good and bad cops and that sometimes bad things occur, and they get covered up.
I don’t believe that happened here in this case. I don’t really want to get into greater societal problems or even did tax regulations cause his death, because they didn’t.
I just want to look solely at the incident of his arrest and death and try and determine if in fact one or all of the officers involved should have been held responsible for his death or not.
My personal belief is that garner is responsible for his death via his actions, and yeah I do feel sorry for him. I wish he hadn’t have done that, and I wish he hadn’t have died. Even though it says heartless by my name, I really do have a heart.
But I also do not want to see someone who is innocent of a crime being charged with a crime that was not committed.
Whoops I think I responded to your post thinking that it was in another thread on the subject of garner. Sorry.
Yep, I saw it live too, on Channel 4. There's a video clip on YouTube from that news archive. You can see the gunfire fom the hovering Chinook.
... or, better still, six feet lower.
Obama and Holder have somehow managed to redirect the anger from where it should be directed - criminals - to the very people who put their lives on the line every day trying to stop them.
The two of them are despicable, cowardly creeps.
The incident you mentioned was surely horrendous.
I agree completely with you about Obama and Holder.
And in the mean time the cop’s union is in full support of the RAT riot inciters......
