Also not saying anything is racist. Stop bringing that up. :lol: Saying officers should not be above reproach. Nothing more nothing less. Put the race card back in your pocket. You can pull it out later when someone brings it up again.
Who cares? Its one less criminal cops have to deal with. The only reason the guy choked at all is he resisted arrest. He was committing a crime and resisted arrest. Whoop de doo the guy breaking the law with over 30 arrests in his record is dead. Please, find a martyr that isn't doing something illegal before being shot. The only "white privilege" that exists is that people whom aren't breaking the law succeed at life, and don't get shot at by police. Pull up your pants, dress like you dont belong in prison, and stop breaking the law. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to not get shot by police!
This is about a police officer using a banned chock hold on an unarmed man that lead to his death. Not about shooting or how people choose to legally dress.
So you're saying police are more likely to shoot you because of your look and choice of clothing. Nice point you proved.
I'm sorry fellas I don't know why you can't understand one simple fact.. THE UNITED STATES LEGAL SYSTEM HAS CLEARED THIS MAN. Meaning he was not responsible for Garner's death. The legal system was invented by people far more intelligent than any of you. Sorry guys but we can reinvent the law just because you are outraged about a white cop
Must be Nice in the burbs Mr. U. Ive been hassled by police frequently and often for carrying a tool bag (I'm a mechanic) in the wrong neighborhood and I'm white. I don't care to argue the race card. As I've said it's an economic disparity issue and an issue of unchecked power in the police force.
Don't you mean someone he works for cleared him. If it was a citizen arrest and the guy died, would the citizen have been put on trial?
Tasering the guy would have most likely blown up his heart. The idiot was resisting arrest. He had the chance to comply, he chose poorly. He's one less criminal wasting tax dollars in court. Next.
I would say you are more likely to get shot. It's all about how you present yourself. If you present yourself like a criminal or a gang member then you will be naturally profiled.. The cop will be on higher alert thinking you are likely carrying a gun You present yourself like a jackass then wonder why people treat you like a jackass. logic fail
My bad. The current direction of the thread* - Larry, you know I love you. But... •The legal system can be wrong. It's flawed, just like anything in this world. I'm sure we can agree on that.
I don't agree with you Larry. If you see a disabled kid walking funny and you think it's a bop, and he's black, that means he's gonna get shot if he doesn't react well to an officer screaming get the **** on the ground lol.
Yes someone he works for.. A grand jury comprised of tax paying citizens that he protects on a daily basis. Their tax money pays for his salary. If you are implying that he works for the prosecutor and the prosecutor cleared then you are an idiot.. They don't work for prosecutor.. Do know how a grand jury works?
I don't care that he was white. I care that on video and by coroners report there was enough for an indictment. I care that a panel of his peers and people he works alongside might be biased. I would love a third party panel system for in department indictments like NYC used to have. That's all.
