Eric Garner died from a crushed trachea due to a chokehold banned by the NYPD. That's what the coroner stated.
After his fat and bloated ass decided to fight with cops. What part of DON'T FIGHT THE COPS isn't computing for you.
No, the 1 crime claimed was an allegation. No one ever found if the 20 was counterfeit. Floyd did not resist arrest and the penalty for counterfeiting is not death.
He was also high as a kite, they found fentanyl and other counterfeit bills in his car. And, oh, yeah, he was resisting arrest. Doesn't excuse what Chauvin did, he completely overreacted. But Floyd was hardly "blameless".
That's only according to Darren Wilson, the murderer. How many murderers do you believe? Furthermore Brown was 20 yards away from Wilson when Wilson fired those shots.
And let's just ignore the findings of the DOJ whereby they found numerous consistent constitutional violations against the black citizens of Ferguson by the police.
If you want to cite the DOJ report, the DOJ report cleared Wilson of any wrongdoing. Also the gun going off in the cruiser wasn't in dispute. there was GSR in the cruiser and on Brown's body. Now, I don't think the shooting of the fatal shots was justified, but again, you expect someone to make a good decision in a stressful situation, they aren't always going to.
Freddy Gray was riding a bike and was stopped for no reason. The knife was legal and he did not pull it out on the cops. This excuse of his death is justified because we found a weap8n on him is an example of your racism. Gray had no reason to be in that paddy wagon.
Actually, he was stopped for a specific reason. Kim Mosby ordered more police intervention in that crime ridden neighborhood. If the knife wasn't illegal, then there was no good reason for this idiot to thrash around inside the paddy wagon. Get to the police station, call your public defender, let him hash out if the damned knife was illegal or not.
Oh, point you leave out, it was a black judge who ruled the cops did nothing wrong, after hearing all the evidence.
The Oklahoma City Police Department hired Daniel Holdsclaw who raped black women while on police duty and got sentenced to 263 years in prison. .
So he abused his badge and got 263 years in prison. Not seeing a problem here.
I saved the best for last. Franklin County, Ohio’s Deputy Sheriff Jason Meade. Meade's attitude about his job is summed up in this statement: “I hunt people; it’s a great job.” He gave a speech in church service about using deadly force on citizens citing the examples of David and Jesus. In this speech, he called the use of deadly force a form of “righteous release.” It is clear that Meade had flown a jet over the cuckoo's nest. Meade was not only able to maintain employment, but the department also assigned him to work with U.S Marshalls. Jason Meade murdered Casey Goodson on December 4, 2020. He shot him three times in the back, then claimed Goodson had a gun and his life was being threatened. Meade was indicted, but that doesn’t bring Goodson back to his children.
So he used excessive force and he's going on trial for it and will probably be convicted.... Again, not seeing the problem here.
“I felt my life was threatened” is a song located on page 1 of the police hymnal. As of this writing, Officer Kim Potter has been sentenced to 2 years in prison for the killing of Daunte Wright. The judge had mercy calling it a sad case. But Potter decided she would play tough cop and pull somebody over for hanging air freshener on a rearview mirror. 2 years was not long enough.
He didn't get pulled over for an air freshener, he got pulled over for expired tags, and THEN they found out the guy had outstanding warrants. But you leave that part out. Oh, yeah, and then there's the part where he decided he was going to fight with cops.
But, yeah, I agree, two years probably too short. Just like it was too short for the cop who shot Justine Damond...
