We achieve 6.8 per cent GDP growth last year. So why are they always complaining about being poor. Why where they the largest group by address over even California arrested in Ferguson? Why the OWS if they are sitting so pretty? Seems many do not agree or they would be so violent and always protesting.
Should NY Police Officers That Turned Their Backs On Their Mayor Be Disciplined?
Yell yes!!! These clowns are a disgrace to public servants everywhere. Police organizations should mold their disciple after how the military operates. There is way too much leeway to be political or support an environment influenced by special interests. The police union is a major enabler to this this type of culture and attitude!
I am counting you among the "dead cops now" movement.
You're really not answering the questions with logical, this-is-what-happens-in-the-real-world-with-the-current-laws-and-rules-we-have answers. It's akin to a "because I say so" answer.
There are no laws that say people must be arrested for selling a loose cigarette. Do you not even see how insane this is? Arresting people for selling a loose cigarette?

It's great that you don't agree w/ De Blasio and the practice of arresting people selling loosies - but the cops did what they were instructed to do by their superiors.
No superior instructed anyone to jump on anyone's back and choke them. At least I certainly hope not.

And you're right, it should've never gotten there - and the person who had the most control of the situation was ERIC GARNER.
He was minding his own business. He was doing what he was suppose to be doing.

And really? He sees 6 officers surrounding him to arrest him and he doesn't think "oh, this might get a little rough if I don't comply?" I doubt it. He knew how it was going to end up - with him in cuffs. Garner was in total control of how easy or hard it was going to be.
If I see 6 cops around and I'm doing nothing I'm not about to think they are going to jump me. Well, I used to think that.
That's interesting, thanks for that. The guy is a reprehensible loudmouth who uses some seriously inflammatory rhetoric. I'm guessing there are more than a few cops who find this clown to be what he is, an embarrassment.
Cops were murdered because obama, Holder, Sharpton and De Blasio all are promoting racial divide in this country and all four are cheering for a race war. They are completely responsible for this country's racial uprising, and they love it.. All four should be in jail for what they are doing to this country..
You mean the 4 Stooges! because that is exactly what the 4 of them are. They most certainly are.
We are already there, if you have not noticed.
The mayor and city council, HIRES the police chief. He is not elected by those he controls.
Police are hired guns and security, for the rich that run the city. Not the people, or they would be elected and not appointed.
Many cities have the mayor be the one to hire the police chief, that is because the mayor is the one responsible for the police department.
I have a job and a wife, not sure what that has to do with wanting there to not be corruption in police departments.
Thanks for answering most of the question, urban. Kid or kids?
