    NO Charges for Officer Eric Garner for Chokehold

    "A Staten Island grand jury has voted not to bring criminal charges against the white New York City police officer at the center of the Eric Garner case, a person briefed on the matter said Wednesday.

    The decision was reached on Wednesday after months of testimony including from the officer, Daniel Pantaleo, who used a chokehold to restrain Mr. Garner, who died after a confrontation."

                      I believe that's 41 shots.

                                  The case exposed lapses in police tactics ? chokeholds are banned by the Police Department?s own guidelines ? and raised questions about the aggressive policing of minor offenses in a time of historically low crime. The officers, part of a plainclothes unit, suspected Mr. Garner of selling loose cigarettes on the street near the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, a complaint among local business owners.

                                              The fact that he can say, "I can't breathe" means he can breathe. You seem to be of the mindset that citizens can decide if they want to comply or not.

                                              Obviously this was not their first run-in with the guy.

                                                                  A, you should live a life within the law.

                                                                  B, when you are being arrested for not following A, don't resist.

                                                                  I'm not saying cops should kill you. The thousands of arrests that happen everyday attest to the fact this doesn't happen. But when you resist arrest or assault a cop you are making a pretty stupid decision that can quickly get out of control.

SInce that is the reality of the matter, and I don't necc. disagree, the first step here is body camera requirements for all cops. I don't know how it would be implemented at the state level, obviously state's rights trump fed law but I would like to see some way this is inacted in each and every state in this here fine union.

No charges when he broke his own departments explicit ban. And the talk is about how the fat black guy deserved it because he didn't say yes sir or some other detail apparently required by some before they'll entertain the notion that cops did something wrong. Something that might be like murder.

                                                                                                      Use the minimum force necessary to arrest. Don't immediately kill or tase or whatever to "gain compliance".

                                                                                                      If you or I did that, we'd be tried for murder. Police are no different. When you give a person a gun and the right to be an executioner, you want them to be MORE careful and be held to a higher standard.

                                                                                                      You can't execute someone for something that might happen. He was not violently resisting. Here's how logic works: If he is violently resisting, going for the gun, etc, then deadly force may be justified.

                                                                                                      But in this case with a WHITE MALE VICTIM and the Garner case it was NOT justified or necessary.

Lie to me, or get into anything worse than loose cigs, and I'll put you in for 6m. That probably doesn't work.

                                                                                                                                      I'm not saying cops should kill you. The thousands of arrests that happen everyday attest to the fact this doesn't happen. But when you resist arrest or assault a cop you are making a pretty stupid decision that can quickly get out of control.
                                                                                                                                      I was went through a full felony stop once and it was an eye opener. Three cop cars, guns drawn, "walk back towards us". I knew I did nothing wrong, I knew I had nothing to hide, I knew I had to comply, and I knew I was going to eat some gravel and most likely get a knee in my back.

                                                                                                                                      No matter what, you do not resist the police. Ever. If you do, you are going down, and it's going to hurt. It's just that simple.

I went to his concert at the garden when all the protesters where outside. Good times. I can't believe it's been 15 years. Time really flies.

Three cop cars, guns drawn, "walk back towards us". I knew I did nothing wrong, I knew I had nothing to hide, I knew I had to comply, and I knew I was going to eat some gravel and most likely get a knee in my back.

                                                                                                                                                                  I don't think anyone can refute that.

If you think that's OK, you are borderline sociopathic and should be examined.

It was also against policy to use a chokehold. So, the cop should have done what was within policy that he learned at the academy.
                                                                                                                                                                                  I agree that the guy should have never used a chokehold as, like you said, it is against their policy.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Do you want to know what the police policy is in most situations where for is needed? In a nutshell they are taught a variety of ways to deal with people in different situations, but they are trained that if they feel they are in danger of losing an altercation or they are in (or about to be in) a physical altercation that they likely not be able to win they are authorized to use lethal force.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Now that may not apply to this particular situation, but it is why often cops who kill people don't get charged. They simply have to prove that they were afraid that they were going to lose the fight.

                                                                                                                                                                                  The reason is simple. If the cop gets knocked out the person that knocked them out now has their gun and car and everything in it. They could potentially do a hell of a lot of damage with those.

No matter how the guy was acting, chokeholds are not allowed. The officer used one, the guy told him he couldn't breathe, and then died from it. That's the real issue here, and is why they need to fire that officer.

                                                                                                                                                                                          So your contention is that the illegal chokehold had NOTHING to do with his death?

                                                                                                                                                                                          Since you are such a champion of law, justice and truth, what is your opinion that the chokehold that was applied by the cop is against the rules and regulations of their own department?

                                                                                                                                                                                          How come you are always advocating that civilians must abide by the rules but a cop that applied an illegal chokehold is absolvable?

At the least, they should have been suspended or had their wrists slapped with some kind of training. These white cops killed a black guy, again, and got away with it, again.

He put his hands up saying "don't touch me" and was clearly resisting. He didn't put his hands up saying "i surrender" or "ok, cuff me, i understand" and this guy had constant run ins with police, constant arrests and it wasn't their first rodeo with him, or fist time trying to arrest him either.. a fact which the video obviously doesn't show and which you're all too willing to ignore.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      No one can say the police over reacted without fully understanding their prior interactions with him and how he acted.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Seems to me they were operating with a great deal more knowledge than a foreigner has from a youtube video.

Those people have obviously never traveled. In 1/2 the countries in the world, he would have raised his voice to police and then promptly been drug around the corner and had his head kicked in.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      All they were trying to do was put handcuffs on him and HE made that a problem, not the police. A grand jury heard all the evidence and agreed. End of story.
