Emerald Garner, whose father Eric died after police used a choke hold on him during an arrest, came to the New York City Police Memorial today to express her condolences following the deaths of two NYPD officers who were gunned down over the weekend.

This seems like a good move. Probably a decent human being, here.
The Garner family have all handled this with grace and stated this was not racism that took Garner’s life. No one is listening to them....so sad.
Notice ABC is doing everything they can to salve agitated sensibilities in the case of the two assassinated officers.
Too damn bad they weren't likewise interested in salving agitated black sensibilities during the punk Michael Brown episode. There'd be a couple of dozen currently dead people alive today.
That’s pretty amazing given the trainwreck that is NYC...
God bless this young woman. She has courage, as defined by Ernest Hemingway as “grace under pressure.”
I notice that Eric Garner, his mother, and his daughter all have the same last name. That is very unusual in some communities.
I heard the mother and wife of Garner and its obvious those women are Christians, and they knew who Mr. Garner was...both asked for peace and not to use him. Of course Sharpton was there like the rattlesnake he is.
Sharpton will someday get the judgment he deserves.
I saw the full interview with her after her father’s death and her poise and grace were outstanding. Then CNN took her interview comments and packaged a sound bite out of them that it sound like something completely different than what they were....... what a despicable bunch.
Of course no on is listening; certainly not the media since clearly the Garner family isn't "really" black. Otherwise they'd be selling t-shirts and demanding a stage at the UN.

Yes, but sooner rather than later appeals to most of us.
What grace and courage she is showing, and what a stark contrast to Michael Brown’s family.
CNN is no different than any other socialist organization. Facts don’t matter to them. Only the message because for them the end justifies the means.
So true. Proverbs 18:21 comes to mind...
Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
The Garners are a class act. I think they are from the Islands...not the same as in-da-hood ghetto blacks.
Thank you for posting the verse.
Because it doesn't fit the leftist's puke narrative.
The cops never used a choke hold although our lying Marxist Media continues to stoke the fires.
Pray America is waking
