NEW YORK (AP) ? Thousands of marchers are expected to protest the death of an unarmed black man who was placed in a chokehold by a white New York police officer.

The march on Saturday is being led by the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network. It will begin at the street where 43-year-old Eric Garner was placed in the fatal chokehold and culminate with a rally at the office of Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan, who this week sent the case to a grand jury.

Sharpton has repeatedly called Garner's death ? and the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by police in Ferguson, Missouri ? a "defining moment" for the very nature of policing. Members of both Garner's and Brown's family are expected to join the "We Will Not Go Back" march.

Garner, an asthmatic father of six, was unarmed when he was stopped by police on July 17 for allegedly selling loose cigarettes. In a confrontation captured on cell phone video, Garner, who is black, was placed in a chokehold ? an illegal tactic ? by a white officer and can be heard screaming "I can't breathe!" as he was forced to the ground.

He died a short time later. The city medical examiner ruled the death a homicide and two NYPD officers have been reassigned during the investigation. Sharpton and other activists have demanded that Donovan bring criminal charges against the officers and have called for federal investigators to step in. But the Justice Department has signaled that it likely will wait for the local probe to conclude before making a decision.

Saturday's half-mile long route winds itself through a heavily-minority neighborhood, one of several in the nation's largest city where residents have said they feel unfairly targeted by police for suspicion of crime and enforcement of low-level offenses.

You fucked up again, you should have changed the words in the article.

I'd think you would know by now that copying exactly what's written in the news is racist.


:warning

this is true though, becuase the media is racist as fuck.

Proof:

Black cop kills unarmed white male #DillonTaylor in Utah #LiberalMedia can't find it's way to cover the story

Tweeted from a black dude, he is probably seen as a traitor by brassmonkey.


Race doesn't mean shit, it's the way police is doing shit is what matters. Media fuels and divides the people by selective reporting and mentioning race all the fucking time.

Read the wikipedia article. We have to weed out the psychos doing police work. Gardner could have been an Hispanic or even a White man.

More and more of this unnecessary police violence is happening. More people will arm themselves an kill police more frequently too.

It's a vicious circle, not only guns. It is the level of violence and disrespect for human life. It's a world wide thing I suppose and I have no real solution.

Well the media must be the only racist since the cops, justice system and politicians never are.

were the cops arrested? why choke off a person air? :( lots of bad things done by cops. time to have hollow tips

no reason to choke out dude. What reason was it to beat that old lady on the freeway, why cop not in jail

You are such a tough guy; I really wish you would come introduce yourself at TPF next year.

i would meet up with you. i have nothing against you. :2 cents:

They are. Point is that black or white are/can be racist. Yet they "hunt" only whites. That is the point many smarter people on GFY are making.

Resisting or not, you can't face death for selling cigarettes on the street, black, yellow, red or white, it don't matter... It's fucked up!

Are you saying that some black cops choked a white guy to death but the media doesn't care?

Got a link to that?

What time?

wrong city nice try tho

Pretty stupid to ask for exact specific situation.

Anyway, media cares, but in the case of black on white there would be more "cop brutality" headlines than "racist cop" headlines compared to white on black case.
