Eric Garner Death & NYPD cops murdered

gina · 2014-12-03T20:44:52Z

Al Sharpton just had a press conference, he and his National Action Network are marching to Washington, DC on December 13 to protest the death of a man named Eric Garner who NYPD police were trying arrest, but he was resistant. He was selling cigarettes. One officer put him in a take down choke hold which ultimately led to his death, because he had asthma, yelled 11 times that he could not breathe while they tried to subdue him. A Grand Jury found the officer innocent in his death. Al Sharpton met with Governor Cuomo this evening to discuss this death of another black manhttp://news.yahoo.com/u-launch-civil-rights-probe-york-chokehold-death-005622785.html There are videos on You Tube. Officer Pantoleo says he used a take down move taught at the Police Academy, not a chokehold to take him down. The videos look like a lot of effort was made in trying to put him on the ground, to put the flexi-cuffs on him, but we were not there, so it is hard to judge. Mr. Garner could not breathe, but it looks like he kept struggling, did they hear him? People need to stop resisting arrest because it just escalates police activities. Even if they are wrong, they are the ones in charge at the scene. People have to understand that. Update 12.5.14 There have been other shootings in NYC and I was going to just put them all up under this one heading and expand it to NYPD shootings, but the circumstances are different and for that reason I will do separate threads for them. People are trying to combine all the deceased into one theme of white cop/dead black men because of race but that is not the case. Eric Garner's death was accidental, but the questions of whether a chokehold should have been used at all remain. All of the shootings are galvanizing the city and the nation into a national cry of stop killing black men. For those who want to follow ALL the protest marches here are some of the twitter hashtags that have video footages.https://twitter.com/hashtag/myNYPD?src="hash"https://twitter.com/hashtag/ICantBreath?src="hash"https://twitter.com/StacyLanyon 41/2 minute moment of silence for #mikebrown #shutitdown #ericgarner #ferguson #blacklivesmatter #thisstopstosday"hash""hash""hash" The major news networks, CNN, WPIX have also had very good coverages. 12.20.14 - This thread will include info. on the two police officers murdered today because the shooter cited the Garner case in his social media posts as the reasons WHY he came her to deliberately kill them. Therefore it is related. [Edited on 12/6/2014 by gina] [Edited on 12/21/2014 by gina]

The NYPD response to the protests on the Brooklyn Bridge where at least one cop was punched in the face by protesters, protesters marching thru NYC on Dec. 13 chanting that they wanted dead cops, and the shootings have created this response. This specialized unit will be used to control and contain protesters as well as terror problems.
