Quote:NY man dies after police place him in chokehold for selling untaxed cigarettes

Quote:Witnesses at the scene claim Garner was breaking up a fight when police arrived, with Garner’s family stating that he didn’t have any cigarettes on him or in his car at the time of his death.

“They’re covering their asses; he was breaking up a fight. They harassed and harassed my husband until they killed him,” Garner wife said.

Within hours after Garner’s arrest and death, residents in the area hung handwritten posters on telephone poles near the scene with phrases like “no justice, no peace” and “Another innocent black man has been killed by police brutality. The NYPD must be stopped!”

According to authorities, Internal Affairs is looking into the death.

That last bit should really help. Cops investigating cops. I wonder how that will turn out?

Yesterday there was a bank robbery in California, some hostages were taken. One of the hostages was found dead in the car but no one knows for sure who shot that hostage, the police or the bank robbers. I am just wondering if there are hostages why not let the robbers go instead of having a fire fight with them. Maybe one of the hostages might still be alive. I don't know all of the details so I don't want to be unfair.

Then there's this Shining Knight serving and protecting. I'm surprised the scumbag didn't steal the guy's shoes while he was at it.

Guess he figured he wasn't adequately compensated for the trouble of watching the poor fucker bleed out.

Fucking?

I don't think she's a real cop.

This new video is making the rounds now. Don't these cops know they might be recorded, or do they just lose it and don't give a damn?

Bill Maher addressed the issue last night on New Rules.

Give the video time to load.

I agree with the title of the post wholeheartedly. I never had a police officer do anything nice for me or treat me as anything more than a suspect ( ever been handcuffed and forced to sit on the road, in front of a squad car, while your car gets tossed for a broken taillight? Guns drawn for a bong that happened to be in a box of shit in the backseat when you were moving? Pulled over for speeding from the front? ) HOWEVER, one only has to do a quick scroll through Google News to see that many people in this country are armed to the teeth and facing long jail terms, violent deaths at the hands of other criminals, hate government, or just want to shoot it out with the fuzz. Wasn't there a crazy shootout in California the other day? Don't forget the North Hollywood Bank Shootout. As for the deployment of SWAT teams mentioned in the Bill Maher clip, I think those are more of an intelligence failure than a systemic one. While I can't stand personal interaction with the police; I understand their need for some more military surplus.

That was a picture of an MRAP in that video clip...big difference there. Do police forces need more light armored vehicles that are designed to protect it's occupants form ieds, mines, and ambushes or more 120mm cannons mounted on tracks? The former just doesn't have the same shock appeal as the latter.
