no indictment for Eric Gardner

[evermaxx]

I do agree the cop was in the wrong, especially him being a big guy. I remember when I first saw the video, I was sure the cop would get in some trouble. Just goes to see how justice isn't served many times, even when evidence is in plane view.

Whoops. Wrong thread for the last post guys.

In NY are you placed under arrest for selling loose cigarettes? I'm going off what they do in Chicago. I know for a fact that if you are selling loosy's in Chicago, you're getting a fine but not arrested. You could rip the ticket up n their face and that still isn't cause to be arrested.

did this guy die from the choke hold or did he die because he had an asthma attack?

[Ahmed Johnson]

I do agree with, the cop shouldn't have gotten off on this one.

& just some facts for you guys who think it's a race thing in general with cops.

In 2013, blacks committed 5,375 murders.

In 2013, whites committed 4,396 murders.

Whites population is 63% while blacks is 13% in the U.S

Police killings of black is down 71% in the last 50 years.

In 2012 alone, 123 blacks were killed by police with a firearm.

In 2012 alone, 326 whites were killed by police with a firearm.

facts provided by FBI, and CDC.

Wrong thread for this bro. You could put this in the Brown threads but no one is really screaming racism on this one. Basically what is the point you are trying to prove?

The M.E. blamed the chokehold. But his asthma played a part. Somewhere in this thread someone posted the M.E. ruling.

i am white, i was walking to my brothers place once when i was about 15. it was winter, i had a coat and stocking cap and it was just after sunset. I had two cops stop me, they wouldnt let me keep my hands in my pockets (it was cold as hell). They said some garage was broken into somewhere and that why they stopped me. I know better than that, they were just wanting to know who this person was walking around. They questioned me for about 15 minutes then just let me go on my way.

I'm sure it was cause i'm white.

what I find outrageous is the fact that it's now come down to dueling cell phone cameras

other wise a decent interaction though brought upon by a fucked up circumstance

How is that the same as being stopped because someone called and said they were nervous because someone was walking with their hands in their pockets? There was no crime that happened.. Again you will NEVER have to go through or be subjected to the things that i myself will have to go through. that is a fact rather you want to see that or not.

So ROLEX if several officers are so ill prepared as to not having the non lethal restraining methods then they probably shouldnt be enforcing the law, If 7 grown men can restrain one man then those officers are a bunch of little bitches.

On a side rant ROLEX I don't care how much time blah blah blah you are as any part of a LEO you are directly one of the problems, I'm surprised no one else has called you out. Standing up for all officers wrong or not. "Its not a choke its a neck restraint" "maybe he wasnt preped with other means to subdue" its a cop out for them fucking up and getting away literally with murder.

I'll prepared? So in your eyes if every LEO out there isn't equipped with enough equipment to subdue anyone in a nurturing humane manner that Care Bears themselves endorse then they shouldn't be enforcing the law? OK, if you say so.

The debate is going to rage about what one person perceives as a lawful command and another states is their stand against the proverbial man. You do you Silverado, I'll do me. at the end of the day i would rather be judged by 12 then carried by six. If that makes me part of the problem then your opinion is noted. We are all entitled to that.

Well put brother
