Protests spread across the country Thursday night over a grand jury’s failure to indict a white New York cop for the choking death of Eric Garner, with tens of thousands marching in the frigid December air from Boston and Washington to Pittsburgh, Oakland and New York.
Despite—or maybe because of—the charge to keep order, even New York’s finest weren’t immune to the protestors’ demands that something had to change.

“FAILURE” to indict ?
What presumptuousness.
Another liberal author longing for 1960’s type activism. Even if it means using a lie as symbolism.
Yep, that's what this is all about, the 60's agitators who have spent their whole lives pining for a replay of that sad era of our country that they nearly tore apart.
Saw a recent Ferguson protester who so proudly proclaimed to a reporter, as if proving her legitimacy, that she was there and marched with Dr. King. The hippies have long sought to validate their hollow lives through the recreation of the counter-culture movement they so closely identify with.
Except now we have AIDS, Herpes, MRSA, ISIS, and Obama.
Have fun!
I predict these protests will not last.
Plus this is liberalism on the ropes. Conservatism is resurging.

More lies. Eric Garner WAS NOT choked to death.
Just as Michael Brown WAS NOT unarmed and he DID NOT shout “Hands up, Don’t Shoot.”
But what does the truth matter to the nenmedia?
Have all the police pull out of black and Hispanic neighborhoods and let them police themselves. They will be begging the police to come back in hours.
Those Baby Boomers had it good. Have all the sex you want and not worry about diseases like AIDS or other now antibiotic resistant STDs. It is the rest of us born post-Baby Boomers who have to deal with the consequences.
The more we see of these protests, the sooner we’ll grown tired of hearing and seeing them.
I predict St. Louis merchants will feel the loss of trade from outside their communities. I was with a group of folks last evening and all said they will no longer spend a nickle there...
I am LOVING this!
What the left always forgets... when they throw a tantrum ... people got to the polls and vote them out of power :)
happens EVERY TIME.
Yup. My generation spent the inheritance they were given by generations of hard-working ancestors who appreciated their freedoms.
We pissed it all away in five or ten years, starting in 1967 (the Summer of Love). Fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long.
Coming from this “much younger baby boomer”, I was always embaressed by the antics of my older baby boomer peers.
The whole incident is RIGHT THERE on video!
15 seconds! He was choked for 15 seconds!!!! He said “I can't breath the 1st time after 14 seconds! and was released from the choke hold ONE SECOND later!!!!
It's obvious as hell to ANYONE who actually takes 1 minute out of their life to watch the video that he didn't get “choked to death” The dude had a heart attack the second he was taken down due to his physical condition and the exertion of resisting arrest. You can actually see his outstretched arm spasming from the moment he hits the ground.
His problems breathing were a result of his heart attack.
ALL this is clearing shown on the video!!!
This isnt even news in my city.
If some lib town wants to burn, then just keep it over there.
Its a pure media event.
It will certainly fade out just like Occupy Wall Street.
People seem to have had enough of this, and really want to return to some times of stability and growth.
Surely, they can't find anything to complain about in those cities, or can they.
My parents tell me that the Vietnam protests were the same way. More media sound and fury than real. They took place in college towns and liberal strongholds. Not so much in flyover country.
Did the officer have less risky means of dealing with Mr Garner?
