NYPD sources confirm that Eric Garner was a player in an organized crime cigarette smuggling syndicate, Gotnews.com has learned.

(snip)

“Garner was setting up shop in front of the local stores and shaking down business owners and patrons as they entered,” says Cardillo.

Garner would use his considerable size to strong arm largely ethnic shopkeepers and was “on the radar” of local law enforcement who had arrested him previously.

Garner was absolutely NOT choked to death!
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!!!

I agree that he should not have died in this incident.

But, this information does shed new light on things.

Michael Brown should not have died either. Trayvon should still be alive too.

But, all of these people unfortunately did things which triggered chains of events which resulted in their demise.

When the taxes in one jurisdiction are high enough, it is only natural that a black market arises to smuggle goods from a lower tax jurisdiction.

If people are selling a bootleg item that is otherwise easily available through legal means, that is an indication that your taxes are way too high.

“Michael Brown should not have died either. Trayvon should still be alive too.”


Agreed,but neither should the approximately 10,000 people that are murdered annually in the USA.

I guess the idiots that are “protesting” don’t think that these people matter.

Thanks,Obama,for tearing this country apart.

Does the autopsy mean anything to you? He suffered severe neck trauma that only comes from choking. Try reading it before you spout off like that.

I don’t believe it was a black/white issue, but an issue of the nanny state letting a man die right in front of them.

So fat people don’t deserve to be allowed to live?!

You’re right. Resist the gestapo and you’re likely to wind up dead.

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.
