Did you read the autopsies before writing this? Your article is almost pure BS.

From the Hannity show:

Dr Michael Baden, FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST: Well, first of all, I agree with you that it’s silly to go after somebody for selling single cigarettes —

HANNITY: It’s stupid!

BADEN: — in a community to people who can’t afford to buy —

HANNITY: A full pack.

BADEN: — a whole pack of cigarettes.

HANNITY: Six dollars in taxes for one pack in New York City!

BADEN: But I think the autopsy itself — the medical examiner did a great job on this. There’s 27 pages in the report. And the female (ph), she found that there were 10 hemorrhages on the inside of the neck, in the muscles of the neck, petechial hemorrhages in the eye, hemorrhage in the tongue. And those are all evidence of neck compression. You’re right, chokehold has many different meanings in all. What we’re concerned at autopsy is was there pressure on the neck.

HANNITY: Right.

BADEN: There was pressure on the neck and pressure on the chest.

HANNITY: I don’t doubt it. This is a big guy.

BADEN: Pressure on the chest that interferes with the lungs expanding and —

HANNITY: But they also —

(CROSSTALK)

BADEN: And hands on the face and nose. So he couldn’t breathe, and he was telling the truth.

HANNITY: But he was still talking does. That impact his ability to talk, if he can’t breathe?

BADEN: Yes, no, you can say, I can’t breathe.

HANNITY: You can.

BADEN: Absolutely.”

So: she found that there were 10 hemorrhages on the inside of the neck, in the muscles of the neck, petechial hemorrhages in the eye, hemorrhage in the tongue. And those are all evidence of neck compression.

So he couldn’t breathe, and he was telling the truth.

HANNITY: But he was still talking does. That impact his ability to talk, if he can’t breathe?

BADEN: Yes, no, you can say, I can’t breathe.

The cop is guilty of at least manslaughter.

He would be guilty of at least manslaughter if it was a fight in a bar. In this case he was hired by the tax payers to enforce laws and take criminals into custody.

For him to be guilty of at least manslaughter he has to break the law first.

Thanks for correcting this ‘vanity.’ Saved me the trouble.

Story out today the prosecutor didn’t even tell the grand jury they could have returned a reckless endangerment charge if not negligent homicide.

Five cops there. Non-violent situation. He’s on the ground and can’t breathe. This was a little extra punishment (like cops locking handcuffs on so tight they hurt and/or cut off circulation) after he’s subdued.

The ‘police can do no wrong’ crowd have weakened their legitimacy here.

But, but, I keep reading people post that the autopsy showed no damage to his neck?? There's no way all of those people could be full of it, is there? /sarc
