So no one deserves to die. Let's take this further. Did that German WWII dictator and Bin Laden deserve to die? The latter was not given a chance to surrender.
No Garner's rights were forfeited once he resisted. This is what people don't understand. Cops can **** you up when you resist. And it's not just because you are of a different race.
I don't work for the social media. If you'd like to ask them, please google their emails and ask them.
Yeah cause when a 220 # man is resisting arrest and trying to get away they should immediately release him when in the heat of the moment they realize their arm is a little more under the chin than it should be
Any normal person would have lived from that hold. The cop said he didn't apply the choke. Dude was obese and in poor health, that's what killed him
Are officers allowed to forfeit rules and regulations to take down someone who was unarmed and certainly couldn't have ran far?
Say he ran far enough to get hit by a car crossing the road. Say a police officer got hit by a car chasing him. Either of these instances and you'd have a lawsuit on your hands. One for not subduing him efficiently, and the other for banning a technique that could have saved an officers life.
He wasn't running he was in their face. He needs to be held accountable. The questions that should be asked are.. Why didn't you comply? Why did you become aggressive? The grand jury saw that the officer didn't apply the choke. That's why he was accountable for the death.
The coroner said obesity and health were only contributing factors. The asphyxiation was the killing factor. That cop who applied the choke hold also has 2 former civil suits against him. Why am I going to believe his word 100% when a trend of abuse exists with that specific officer?
If anyone pointed a gun at me, I would kill them. No questions asked. Notice how you are hearing all these things and they are all stories on African Americans? If a white man was shot, you wouldn't here a thing about it. You wouldn't have no presidents at your funeral or nothing. If this teen is so innocent, then why did he have a gun? He points a gun at an officer, and he is probably too young to have a gun.
That's a ridiculous statement. In all three of these instances, there was a form of aggression shown towards officers. 2 of which involving firearms. Guess what, if all 3 of these people has cooperated with police, then all 3 of them would've been alive right now I can almost guarantee.
I was going to make a bold statement about how "if you pull a gun on a cop, you're likely going to be shot". Regardless of what color you are. But it seems that most normal people understand that in this thread. The thing of it is, some people who have little to no money, tend to commit crimes to get money. It's the way it is. Some become gangsters. Because there is strength in numbers. Today's rap/hip-hop community embrace the thug life, and inner city life of struggle and the impoverished...and make a grand story about how they went from selling rocks and now they are millionaires. The emblazon the idea that killing and stealing is cool. So, now you have the young people being brought up believing that all cops are racist, and they look and wait for something to happen to rally around....like this recent tragedy. So, now killing cops is retribution for criminal activity. Let's punish the people that are there to protect us from the criminals that are robbing stores, and resisting arrest. It's stupefying. And we need to have more people like Mike Rowe who aren't afraid to tell it like it is....I read an article the other day, and was relieved at seeing a PUBLIC article blasting the actual criminal as opposed to the police. Read that and enjoy.
What about that crazy lunatic that ambushes and gunned down 2 p/o in NYC? It would be shocking if anyone has sympathy in this case want to be stupid and pull a gun at a p/o fine expect to be either injured or killed.
That's the thing. They had officers near him. They could have easily held him down. Again, blame social media for blowing this story out. They are the true racists. Do we know how old the teen is? Every American citizen has the right to own and carry a gun. Lol. I know some people who let their kids, who are under 13, keep guns on them.
You can't be serious? What was your opinion on RoboCop? Should police officers be allowed to execute people on the spot?
I'm glad he was shot and killed. One less idiot in this world. You are gonna point a gun at a cop obviously you're going to get shot. Ever heard of a thing called suicide by cop? Hell you pull a gun on me I'm gonna put rounds in you too. #killofftheidiots
