Protests gripped New York City for the second straight week in wake of another grand jury decision not to indict a white officer for killing an unarmed black male in Staten Island.

At least 78 arrests were made in the city as protests marched through Manhattan throughout the night, the New York Post reports.One car, an officer's personal automobile, was torched in Brooklyn, but it was not known whether it was related to the protests.

I am going up to NY with the family to spend a long weekend with grandma. We usually take the West Side Highway to get into Manhattan but that key artery is being targeted by the protestors. I hate these losers for ruining the holiday for everyone else.

Did Obama, Holder Reactions Undermine The Justice System?

For trying to "Rambo" the arrest of Garner over a few dollars in cigarette tax the city will end up paying a huge amount in overtime, destruction of property, usually a settlement of hundreds of thousands if not millions to the family of the man. Maybe additional lawsuits stemming from the riots.

This reminds me of that situation in the middle east where a man set himself on fire because the government would not let him sell some oranges on the street to help feed his family. It ended up with the people overthrowing the government.

Garner had been arrested for the same thing on numerous other occasions, and the local population and merchants were complaining about these sellers of cigarettes and other items (the people selling electronics from blankets on the sidewalk, etc). Why he suddenly decided to announce that he wasn’t going to let it happen this time, or words to that effect, and shoved the officer is a mystery. But even so, being restrained wouldn’t have been enough to kill him or even injure him if it hadn’t been for his heart problems, weight, asthma, etc - but there’s no way of doing a health inventory of somebody before wresting him, unfortunately.

Lets we forget, before the ‘09 election, Obama spent time in Kenya watching first hand as his cousin Odingo foment a violent revolution that got him installed as Prime Minister.

Would Obama foment a similar black revolution here?

Othuggo did more than that, he took a few million over to help cousin Odinga pay for the slaughtering.

Fox Radio News isn’t helping. The 9 AM EST newscast this morning (Lisa Brady) called this a “choking death.” Choking was not the cause of death.

This arrest was supervised by
a black female NYPD Sergeant.

If the tactics were illegal,
then the Sergeant should have
been indicted.

The fact that she is black,
it is not a Civil Rights event,
despite the lies of E Holder.
