Officials Refuse to Let Ramsey Orta Out of Jail Despite Posting Bail

As a South Carolina police officer faces murder charges after his fatal shooting of unarmed Walter Scott was caught on video, we look at what happened to the man who filmed Eric Garner’s fatal chokehold on Staten Island. While no police officers were indicted for Garner’s death, the man who filmed the attack, Ramsey Orta, is now locked up in jail after facing what he described as harassment by local police. Orta was first arrested on an unrelated gun charge the day after the Staten Island coroner declared Garner’s death to be a homicide. He was later arrested and jailed on a drug charge. His mother, brother and wife have all been arrested too. Supporters have accused the New York City Police Department of targeting Orta’s family for releasing the Garner video. We are joined by Ramsey Orta’s aunt, Lisa Mercado, as well as Orta family attorneys, William Aronin and Ken Perry.


He pissed off the boys in blue and they are getting their revenge. The prison is poisoning prisoners so he has gone on a hunger strike.
 
A family of drug dealers. Sad to say it's not unusual.
An idiot speaks.....out all of that why am I not surprised its all a republican saw or read.
Your boy is far from an angel himself....."
Cops busted Orta at his Staten Island home on Feb. 10 for allegedly peddling drugs to undercover officers nine times. Authorities also arrested his mother and brother in the sweep.

In August 2014, police arrested Orta for criminal possession of a firearm—just one month after he taped the video showing Garner’s death."
