Good article.
The guy was obese, and had medical problems. He should have quickly surrendered. He didn’t.
I think the bigger question is why are 4 cops trying to arrest a guy who sold one single solitary cigarette in the first place? Oh that’s right, because New York city which is run 100% by DEMOCRATS care about nothing else but getting their damn tax money.
And it was a headlock, not a chokehold. To be a chokehold, there must be constant pressure on the person’s neck, compressing his windpipe or cutting off the flow of blood to the carotid artery, rendering him unconscious.Already too many race hustlers openly admitting that they care nothing for the facts, but is their credibility questioned by the media?
Watch the video: It’s obvious that the arresting officer put his arm around Garner’s neck to bring him to the ground—but once Garner was on the ground, he was still conscious and able to say he couldn’t breathe. …
Don’t the first two sentences make it sound likes he thinks it was a chokehold?
To paraphrase Ann Coulter: Never stand between a liberal and their armed tax collectors.
Absolute garbage, I grew up in NYC and finally got smart and moved two years ago. The cops always say that. The bottom line is the NYPD is ORDERED by LIBERALS to take to the streets and act as tax collectors and shakedown artists. I have a lot of friends who are cops who are sick to death of this BS just as much as the public, they got cops out 1am in the morning walking up and down blocks looking at registration and inspection stickers on parked cars. WHY are they doing that when the NYPD has an entirely separate traffic enforcement dept?? Because liberals are using and abusing the ENTIRE NYPD solely to get their damn money to bribe people with their socialist BS.
Who ya gonna believe, me or your lyin’ eyes?
Dietl tells us to watch the video. I’ve seen it many times. It was , in fact a chokehold, based on the fact that, unless Garneer was thinking many steps ahead and was lying, Garner said HE COULDN’T BREATH. That is what happens when you are being choked. Hence, a ‘choke hold’. Nothing any of the other officers were doing caused him not to be able to breathe.
These are questions of fact that should’ve been decided by a trial and jury.
The cynic in me thinks Obama and Holder somehow (hey, they got Roberts to behave as though he never read the Constitution) manipulated this decision to keep their race narrative alive.
Pantaleo explained to the grand jury that he attempted to take Garner down with a wrestling move he learned in the police academy. If you slow the video down you can see that his left hand is pulling on Garner’s upper chest, not his neck. Only after Garner pushed him into a large glass window and he thought he was going through it did Pantaleo put his arm around Garner’s neck. But he still didn’t apply enough pressure to damage the trachea or hyoid bone, and Garner remained conscious until well after he was on the ground.
Garner died because criminal tax policy created an opening for illicit profit by criminals.
The mayor needs to start supporting his commissioner and his officers. They’ve earned it.
De Blasio is an out and out commie. His power base are the people who don’t want to be policed and the liberals too stupid to know the consequences. NY has been safe too long; people forgot what it was like under Dinkins.
They will find out again—and then some.
Much as I hate to quote a Times editorial, is there any truth to their statement that Garner couldn’t breathe because he was prone on the ground with cops pushing on his back to hold him down, forcing his overweight midsection into a distorted position that kept his diaphragm from moving? That sounds so much more likely to me. Not sure it matches the autopsy evidence.
BLACK FEMALE Police Sergeant Supervised Eric Garner’s Deadly Arrest
When you have someone on the ground from behind with your arm around their throat it is a choke. Regardless of the cause. Let’s not play the redefinition games.
This is quite a guy. I’m trying to imagine the police decoy job he did. Mugged 500 times and hospitalized with injuries 30 of those times. Some people are just natural warriors and can do these incredible life and death adrenaline rush jobs. Like the special forces guys who storm into terrorist compounds. My knees would be knocking together so badly I’d be totally useless. But these guys can do it. It is truly incredible to me and I am grateful that such people exist and do what they do.
Yep, the liberals love the poor people, but when a man who can not work for a living for some reason goes out to sell a few cigarettes at a cheaper price to make a dollar when he could be robbing liquor stores, they kill him.
Yep they really love the poor people and the blacks.
New Break. Al Sharpton has never officially been ordained by a Bishop, nor has Al ever attended a theological seminary and received a Masters of Theology. He is not a Pastor of any Church, he does not show the love of Jesus Christ, he does not offer forgiveness and mercy, nor can he preached the Gospel as do those who have been called and anointed. In fact, one could say Al Sharpton is a typology of an Anti-Christ because he is against all things Jesus taught.
Great article! Thank you for posting it.
It doesn’t matter if it was a choke hold or not. If I got in a tussle with this guy and he ended up dead, I would be facing manslaughter charges. The police need to be held to at least as high of a standard.
