What are you even trying to prove? You are the one who said he was fighting police. We all told you to watch the video, which you obviously had not done, because he clearly was not fighting the police. Someone else mentioned resisting arrest which no one argued against. Then you tried to say that resisting arrest was fighting against the police. No. What we are calling you out on is your insistence that he was fighting the police, which he clearly was not. Now you're trying to backtrack & hint that you really meant resisting arrest? Nice try but you failed miserably.
No one has argued he didn't resist. Running away would be resisting. The overall large argument is that no one should ever be arrested for selling loose cigarette's on a street corner.
Agreed. Now, who enacted the laws that led to such draconian enforcement?

But, it is not the job of the police to make the laws.

Fighting the arrest......does that make you happy???
It is to bad this happened to Garner......I agree with that.
I said before.....I would like to have seen more from the EMT's.
It looks that way to me too.......but, the GJ did not find it criminal.
They did not find for the charges presented to them. I wouldn't have either. The officer did not mean to kill him but indeed his actions which he was not allowed to do did lead to his death.
I would have found for manslaughter most likely.

I am sure the cop will be reprimanded at work.......maybe let go.
Part of that is also because of what the DA did, especially by not allowing a Reckless Endangerment Charge.
I would agree with that.
