Yeah...big bad criminal. Comply or die, right? Even if all you’re suspected of doing is selling loosies!
BTW...chokeholds are ILLEGAL on the NYPD.
I didn't say he was public enemy number one.
He was a criminal with a long arrest history.
Seriously, what are the cops supposed to do if
the subject just plain doesn't wanna be arrested?
They can exert force or walk away. They ain't paid to walk away.
Being the same age as Sharpton, he's the #1 race baiter I've ever seen.
Nonsense. You’d simply prefer that blacks remain mealy mouthed. You guys think race baiting is equivalent to defending yourself and not complaining about injustice.
In THIS case, Sharpton did the right thing. Period.

Long arrest history = for nothing more serious than selling loose cigs. Are the cops supposed to kill citizens for that?
He didn’t want to be arrested because he wasn’t committing a crime, and the cops never proved that he was committing one. Moreover, no witnesses said that he committed one either.
They ain’t paid to walk away, but they’re not paid to kill you illegally either. If there’s a choice, walk the eff away!

3. Garner, 43, had history of more than 30 arrests dating back to 1980, on charges including assault and grand larceny.
Do you mean to say that if a crime is "minor" and the subject
decides not to be arrested, the police should just move along?
That'd be a slick way not be arrested for minor crimes; "Just say no."
Hero or not, he didn't deserve to be killed like that in cold blood. It's disgusting how people can just get online and undervalue lives just because they're black...
Another false narrative, and more fake news. Eric Garner wasn't killed in cold blood. He died because he was a fat slob. He just happened to croak himself while resiting his 31st arrest.
The fact that it's a private Twitter account (hers, actually, so now we know they're transferable) has NOTHING to do with the clearly racist request.
But then, it's not news that the racist door has always swung both ways.
who is being victimized by this request? who is being insulted? People pick and choose which media sources they sit down with all the time. Why do you feel entitled to broadcasting their pain?

What crime was he committing when they illegally choked him?
