Yes, weep for the man who had been arrested over 30 times, and also had a history of resisting arrest.
European cops don't have to deal with minorities that feel like they are entitled to do whatever they want
Eric Garner. People continue to take this thread off topic by bringing up NYC into a thread about Ferguson. Garner's arrest record was reported to contain 30 arrests from 1980 to the present.
My issue of late is that the moment any poc is shot by police the media instantly decides to link it to the previous chain of deaths and that the go-to assumption by many is that it was unjust, without regard to facts.
Good point Sholoron. I'm glad you decided to log into KAW for the first time in months and not actually play
Bud you ever been in a street fight? Adrenaline is going, your basic instincts kick in and all you know is you do what it takes in the moment. It isn't much different with the garner situation man. They started with a normal arrest and the idiot decided to struggle and try to get away. The officer doesn't know what the man is capable of both physically or unforeseen. All he knows is he is capable of at least resisting arrest, is fighting him and needs to be subdued. A struggle like that isn't exactly choreographed bud. And if the guy was able to keep saying "I can't breath" throughout the whole hold thing then he wasn't choking either
I agree with Aj on that the officer using the chokehold should have gotten some kind of punishment - at least for breaking protocol if nothing else.
Sholoron you are a clown.. Xtreme defends you because you have a high post count so you must be cool.. Please leave forums to people who actually play KAW
The obese man didn't have a gun or a knife. I'm sorry. I was under the impression that the police departments of America are properly trained to handle situations within regulations. My bad. If you are being choked, your "instinct" is to use what little are you can let in and out to breathe. Wasn't it said that he didn't fully apply the choke?
Why does Sholron always interject with thought and wit and ruin the whole "idiot" vibe. #TrollLivesmatter
I can't discern propaganda from media frenzy to speeches. One person told me Gangs had to kill cops to join higher ranks. If any of that is truth you can't blame some poorly trained cops of being trigger happy. I live in a colour blind society so it's hard to understand. If religious or racial differences offend society the few who do should be policed by the decent ppl in that group. Not glamorized typecast financed and then claim bigotry. Amazing how well we all get along when we remember our manners.
