Was that the guy who got in a fight with the cops over selling cigs?

[Critter5592]

That's fked up, all over a minor charge of selling "untaxed cigarettes"

Was that the guy who got in a fight with the cops over selling cigs?

For whatever reason the cop felt the need to subdue him instead of sitting there talking it out with him. Not sure of the circumstances exactly.

I believe the problem is with the protocol the cop is forced to follow and abide by, not necessarily the cop himself. Although there were multiple involved in subduing him.

The video is graphic as fk, I can't believe these are the steps to arresting someone and handling the situation.

I wouldn't exactly call it a fight. He resisted arrest, but he never fought back. He just didn't put his hands behind his back so they put him in a choke hold and he died.

This. Garner was resisting them and it put the cops in a real crap position.

I'd like to see what all the documents say. It's obvious that if you're screaming "I can't breathe" you actually can, so I'd like to thoroughly read all the reports from the case.

Also keep in mind, use of the chokehold has been prohibited by New York City Police Department policy since 1993

disagree w/this. agree w/ wilson one.

Wasn't any resistance until the cop felt the need to subdue him for no reason. It was all verbal and could have remained that way. I would be pretty resistant too if a cop came up and put me in a choke hold for no ****ing reason.

[Blacryan]

Don't necessarily agree with this... I don't think it was the chokehold that was the issue here, but more 5 people sitting on top of him. That "chokehold" isn't a ****ing chokehold.

At the end of the day if he hadn't resisted arrested, and just done as instructed he'd still be alive today.

[Aesthetical]

This is complete bs.

Uh...I've seen the video... he was under arrest, and he resisted the arrest before any choke hold came up. At least be consistent and accurate, man.



He said "don't touch me" when they were arresting him and he started fighting. He started the altercation, so be fair about that.

Furthermore, the "chokehold" wasn't a choke hold lol.

The autopsy concluded that it was a homicide...one illegal act doesnt allow a second. By your way of thinking, since the cop committed an illegal act, had he gotten punted in the head and died he deserved it.

Here is how you avoid problems with police:

-don't run away from them
-don't punch them
-don't suddenly reach for your pockets unless told
-follow their directions

If you disagree with something they're doing, fight it in court, not in the streets.

o lawd

i really want to punch al sharpton in his bobble head he is instigating this stuff to death

[biggoron]

If you say, "I can't breathe" then yes you can.

You're an idiot.

Do you know what homicide even means?

You understand michael brown was a homicide as well? And Trayvon Martin was a homicide?

[Critter5592]

Uh...I've seen the video... he was under arrest, and he resisted the arrest before any choke hold came up. At least be consistent and accurate, man.

So because he spews some verbal leave me alone **** that's resistance that warrants a take down? Also warrants police waiting seven minutes before giving him cardiopulmonary resuscitation? Also warrants the use of a chokehold and other cops sitting on top of him?




Strong resistance lmao..

Yeah I'm watching the video now and that is a bit over the top. But then I don't live in NY so I don't know how people over there feel about it, what their departmental policies are that kind of stuff.

[WolfishGrin]

This.

Cop in the Garner case should've at least been indicted.

Brown was a thug who committed strong arm robbery and assaulted a police officer. His actions led to his demise at the hands of a police officer who was acting in self defense.

Garner who was not aggressive was taken down and out with an illegal procedure by a bunch of cops who were there in the first place because he was suspected of selling untaxed cigarettes.

[RushEm]

ohhhh fuk i dont know anymore.

THIS IS OUT OF HAND

Strong resistance lmao..

No, him resisting being cuffed warrants a takedown. Nothing wrong with that. If he keeps resisting, of course cops are going to sit on top of him. It's standard operating procedure to hold them down.

Why don't you just call it CPR? Do you think it makes it sound fancier? lol

You are proving my point that the policy/standard they must follow is ****ing retarded.

[4EverrBulking]

Don't know how I feel about this

[juiceyjay]

this. Jimmies rustled now

[IH8RICE]

I'd expect some pretty nasty violence up there. The video has been out for a while. I truly feel sorry for the family.

[J1n]

ppl should be protesting over this sht, not the Ferguson crap, which was just a giant race bait by the media.

2nd vid ive seen where cops kill someone trying to arrest them by suffocating them.

[cashinout]

NYPD gonna NYPD

[ACSZZ1988]

Never saw the full video until now.. funny how the media only shows the part where the cops are on top of him not how he is resisting.

After seeing full vid I agree with no indictment

[BenchWellington]

disagree w/this. agree w/ wilson one.

This.

The video of Garner's death is highly disturbing.
