The next President WON'T seek out Al Sharpton!

pantin"If they are refusing to do their jobs, simply because the mayor thought the killing of Eric holder was unjust, than DeBlasio should go all Ronald Regan VS the Air traffic controllers on them "

I agree, as this is just another union utilizing thuggish behavior.

If I was on the jury I would be more open minded than you.

Sure, tens of thousands of qualified people ready to step in and do those jobs.

Maybe that's what all the illegal immigration is really for.

Let the people in those areas live under the decisions that they have called for.

Deblasio wouldn't make a good pimple on Ronald Regan's rear.

You don't know that. You've never been to either one of those neighborhoods and you have no idea what they pay. In fact, YOU probably don't pay any kind of taxes either, and it ain't because you're rich.

Your "open minded" because earlier you were oblivious to the autopsy report.

Once you read what killed him, yes....he was choked to death. You can spin it and call it whatever you want but that's what killed him.

Now if he'd had an asthma attack while resisting arrest, or a heart attack or got tased and coded....then that's different.

The guy was resisting, I have no problem with some rough stuff but there is a reason they don't want cops putting potentially fatal holds on a guy. I mean, you screw up a joint hold maybe you break an arm or soemthing but you don't kill the guy.

Please, if you think I'm missing something then explain it rather than just make backhanded vague claims that I'm not being open minded. Let's see a rationally constructed argument.
