so the article is here http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/14/n...ed-by-new-york-city-for-5-9-million.html?_r=0 To sum it up, New Yorkers had to pay 5.9 million dollars to the family of a guy who most New Yorkers did no participate in killing. Meanwhile, this murderer is walking the streets free as can be and this man's children will never see him again. Eric garner lost his life. The family lost loved one. The New Yorkers lost 5.9 Million. and this guy is still walking on the streets. He will never be in prison based on a technicality. No one wins.:smt012 not even justice.
This case will be revisited for years to come. We had on VIDEO this psycho cop choking a man to death for illegally selling single cigs on the corner. But somehow a grand jury didn't think this case was worth arguing in a court of law.
He resisted arrest and that's all people will focus on that don't give two shits about the truth. There's an ex cop who was on the last Joe Rogan show who was a cop in Baltimore and dude shines such a huge spotlight on this bullshit. In fact let me find it and start a thread.
Sad to report his Activist daughter, Erica, is brain dead from an asthma induced heart attack and not expected to survive... Details: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5218331/Eric-Garners-daughter-declared-brain-dead.html Erica Garner, 27, remained on life support in a Brooklyn hospital on Thursday Mother-of-two has been in a coma for five days since going into cardiac arrest Garner suffered major brain damage from lack of oxygen during the heart attack She has been an activist against police brutality ever since her father Eric Garner died after he was placed in a chokehold by an NYPD officer in 2014 Person behind Garner's Twitter account refuted a RIP message posted prematurely by Brooklyn Councilman Jumaane Williams on Thursday
The world already forgot. These asshole cops can hold this kind of rally mocking a murder victim because they have absolutely no oversight locally or on a federal level. The cops who organized this rally should have been fired immediately.
...and they do it every time that they fuck up. Not just in NYC, but all over the country. You got videos of cops engaging in misconduct, and the unions come out attacking the victim and anybody who criticizes the department. If the victim is black, more than half of the general public will side with the cops no matter how damning the evidence against them is. That's the real issue with the racial divide in police abuse. A lot of the people who deny racial disparities in policing know that they're bullshitting. The deal is that they like police harassing and abusing black people because they think the black community will run amok and hurt everybody else otherwise. They just don't feel comfortable saying it out loud unless they're open Nazis.
Financial freedom is our only hope. Imagine how differently someone approaches you when you're the one holding the purse string
