That whole Oath of Office thing.

Yeah imagine if that convicted career criminal had just complied. Or maybe ate one less bigmac or two.

Yeah, now they don't want to do anything unless "absolutely necessary". Little too late for that.

You think. Not once, no matter how many times I've asked for it, has a single cop apologist on this forum shown any evidence that the police told Garner he was under arrest. And for the record, I'm NOT a liberal, so you can stop with the whole, "it's all liberals that are against this" b.s.

They don't "feel safe" doing their jobs? Now they know how some of the citizens feel when they see a cop.
Little things? If they do not their jobs you got what you want; not approaching citizens. Should make you happy.

Yeh, the types of oaths we don't hold our politicians accountable for.

What about all the other taxes being evaded in that city? What about those tax evaders?

Is there something out of balance here?
Or doesn't pay his taxes and becomes head of the IRS or continues to be a US Representative.

I'm thinking a whole lot of NYPD guys have been wishing for some time now that their brothers would have handled that entire Garner incident with a little more brains, smooth talk, and whole lot less attitude.

Yeah, a whole lot of 'em, I'd bet.

Why would anyone accommodate an obviously ridiculous request?

Hey..who wants racist, violent police on the street ? That's what New Yorkers are saying with their protests.
One day you're screaming about the police state and the next day you're screaming that you're not protected.

make up your minds already.
