Eric Garner: Nothing Good Here

[PoliticalChic]

The video of Eric Garner's death is one of those two or three minutes that leaves it's impact forever.

"I can't breathe...." ....eleven times.

There is nothing good here, not for anyone. No one will say 'I'm glad that happened...' because no one is.



Radio host Sandy Boyer, from the communist radio voice in NYC, WBAI, wrote the following for the Socialist Worker, Will there be justice for Eric Garner SocialistWorker.org



1. "IN NEW York City, like in Ferguson, African Americans aren't safe walking down the street.

2. Eric Garner was strangled to death by Patrolman Daniel Pantaleo in broad daylight on Staten Island .....

3. His killing might have gone almost unnoticed if a friend hadn't videotaped it--only to be arrested in retaliation for recording a police murder.

4. .... Pantaleo can be seen holding Eric Garner in an illegal chokehold as he wrestles him to the ground. Garner can be heard crying out, "I can't breathe." The video shows Pantaleo pushing Garner's face into the sidewalk. Garner died a few minutes later--but police waited seven minutes before trying to resuscitate him.

5. New York City Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson has ruled the Garner's death was a homicide. She found that it was the chokehold, ... that killed him.




6. Garner's "crime" was underselling local merchants by selling "loosies"--single, untaxed cigarettes--on the street for 50 cents apiece.

7. Cops routinely hassled Garner. He was out on bail for selling untaxed cigarettes the day they killed him.

When the cops came after him, Garner threw his arms in the air and yelled, "I was just minding my own business. Every time you see me, you want to mess with me. I'm tired of it. It stops today." Will there be justice for Eric Garner SocialistWorker.org

A cop will never be indicted on Staten Island, however he should never be a police officer again. Being a law enforcement officer is something you are only allowed to screw up once, with great power comes great responsibility.

That being said firing his ass will be next to impossible, and you have public unions to thank for that.

A choke hold is not a true "choking", as usually that implies an interior blockage. But it does restrict blood flow to the brain, and since it is a restriction and not a blockage, a person could speak while being unable to get enough air into their system.

This was a big man, and any trauma that restricts oxygen flow can have consequences that a more fit person would be subject to.

The video does appear to show the cop using a "choke" hold, and those are supposed to be against procedure.

It finally stopped, didn't it.

What underlines all of these cases is the fact that our liar in chief doesn't believe in following our laws. He's setting a terrible example for everyone else. Why should some guy selling cigarettes on the street follow the law when our president refuses to?

If the guy had not resisted arrest in the first place things would not have gone a far as it did.
As soon as he said don't touch me is when they had to take him down.
There was a black woman officer who was in charge there at the scene and she did not stop them because she knew they were not chocking him.

Cletus.

Didn`t you savage consistantly post the coroners report as evidence to support your outlandish claims in the michael bron case?

Well. The coroners report this time clearly underlines that the victim died due to choking.

Now go fuck some animals and play with mud Cletus.

Sorry if I'm not one of the idiots Gruber spoke of. If our leaders set a poor example for us don't you think some idiot is going to want to imitate it? You've never heard of copy-cat crimes before? This isn't exactly a copy-cat crime but it's a general attitude of lawlessness and exhibits a lack of respect for authority. Why do you think Obama does it in the first place if not to set this sort of thing in motion. Why does he release thousands of criminals from jail if he's not trying to increase lawlessness.

Jesus, what a dumb-ass!!!

It was a terrible accident. Those wanting to make it more are a pathetic bunch

The very first time I visited an aikido class, sensei who was about the same size as the Staten Island officer, called one of his students up to attack. The student, Joe, was a Corrections Officer at Rikers and only slightly smaller than Garner. Joe attacked sensei and literally a fraction of a second later Joe was flat on his back. The point being that there are many way Garner could have been subdued short of lethal force. And, once again, these same cops now are in body armor armed with AR-15's in Grand Central Station and I don't feel safe

They didn't use lethal force. The problem is Gardner was in poor health and he was mouthing off. He didn't deserve even being cuffed and stuffed but the law is the law. Fighting cops is always a losing proposition.
