I know that some jury had to rule on it and they found the police officer innocent. Thats all I needed to hear. I dont care about any other part of it.



and again, my offer is still out there for anyone who wants to argue, to dispute anything I typed with FACTS, or LAW. None of you can, and all anyone can do is just tell me Im wrong, im a nazi, im a ginger (that hurts btw) and other insults.


When you guys want to debate anything I typed, I will absolutely debate and defeat your argument, because.....LAW.


your move.
Seriously what good is a debate here?

You related a story a few pages back about a black guy stealing a white girls phone @ a demonstration & when the validity of the story is questioned by some posters you present some anonymous police blog as proof & close with something about sucking your nuts which is the equivalent of "na na na na na , see I'm right" .

What you fail to comprehend is that nobody doubts that you actually really did hear/read that "story" somewhere, we just seriously doubted that that incident ever really happened & I believe it was subsequently shown later in this thread that the incident really didn't happen. I don't remember you offering to gargle anybody's nutsack in return for being wrong, nor were you ever asked to.

You then went on to tell everyone that the law is the law & we can't just pick & choose which laws we obey & I posted something in the last post on page 7 that you just conveniently glossed over & never responded to & is what most here are upset about. FTR, I'm more appalled by the aftermath & just, seemingly, letting the guy die. It looked like they thought he was faking unconsciousness & told the EMT that she was potentially in danger. I'm not saying that's exactly what happened, & this is where I'd like to see an unedited version, but WTF were they doing?

Then you tell us all that we're letting emotion cloud our judgement when nothing could be further from the truth. We're looking at this logically while you're going into other threads like the Rio shooting one & making emotional comments like " at least they didn't choke him". You act like we're all advocating passivity when there is real danger to society like a guy running around with a fucking gun threatening people. I think I can safely speak for everyone speaking out against what these police did in the Eric Garner incident, myself, Crowe, varys, etc, & say absolutely shoot the fucking guy with the gun threatening people & shoot to kill.

Eric Garner was not a "danger" to anybody at that moment. They have to at least try to talk the situation down & from what I've seen on that recording, they did nothing like this. Of course, they may have talked for 20 minutes before the recording but, I'm commenting strictly on what is shown.

There must have been a dry-rub rib special @ Chili's that they had to get to or something, which is understandable, because those ribs are awesome.

the blog is irrelevant. Lets stick to the case. You can look at it LOGICALLY (which I dont necessarily disagree with), but Im looking at it LEGALLY, which is the only thing that matters. Whatever you think, whatever you feel, DOESNT MATTER because....LAW.

The only time Garner seemed to be a threat to anyone, was when HE FAILED TO OBEY THE LAW and would not let the officer apply the handcuffs. AT THAT POINT, the officers can do what they can (legally) to subdue him and place the handcuffs on him. If you dont like the choke, HAVE THE LAW CHANGED SO THEY CANT DO IT. But....until then....LAW.

And you're right...neither of us know what happened during the time the recording was off, so we can all just speculate.


If you will look at this situation from a LEGAL standpoint, there was nothing done wrong, as far as I can tell. The uproar is based on what individuals feel was the right thing to do/what could have been done, etc. But, it doesnt matter, because the laws were followed, and an individual failed to follow it, and a tragedy occurred.
