The New York Choke Hold Case
|
Grand Jury decides not to indict the cop that used a choke hold that resulted in the death of Eric Gardner.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/03/justice/ne...?hpt=hp_t1 To me this seems like negligent homicide. Do they not have laws criminalizing negligent homicide in New York State?

Especially since the coroner called it a homicide. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
Not if you're wearing blue, Woodie. What the hell do you think the problem is here? You go try it and see what happens to your ass.
We'll just file that under yet another case where a cop kills someone, and isn't punished for it.

So, this is a homicide- an unlawful killing of one person by another. If the cop isn't charged, who committed the homicide? Did the man just spontaneously murdered?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay." For context, this is the previous verse: "Hi Jesus" -robvalue  RE: The New York Choke Hold Case

Don't know, but NYPD forbids the use of choke holds for very good reason. I don't know much about the background of this story, but on the surface it sounds like the suspect wasn't resisting (any more than anyone deprived of oxygen would). I'll note that it appears pretty hard to get an indictment of a cop for an on-duty incident - even when department policy is violated and someone dies as a result.
It seems they will now have to rule it a "suicide."

Did the man just spontaneously murdered? Homicide doesn't imply unlawful. Justified self-defense deaths are also ruled homicide. It's not up to the coroner to determine whether the law was violated, only the manner of death.
That does flow better than "spontaneously murdered". It'll make them sound less silly.
There's just so much backwardness with this. I can hear the cop cheering "You heard the man. I wasn't found guilty of suiciding that guy."

I don't understand the jury's decision. Unlike the Ferguson case, this was a really easy indictment, IMO...
Was the jury instructed to let it go to the federal level, maybe? |
