That is dumb and disgusting. You would do well in Nazi Germany.

If many Americans think as you do, where has my country gone?

and yet you fail to tell me HOW that is dumb and disgusting,,,

You think killing someone for a minor crime and failing to listen to crazed cops, is justified. I don’t.

I think it was senseless,,,a grown ass man should respect the cops,,,

Nah, respect is earned, bootlicker.

in this case it was,,,

Disagree.

 

[MarcATL]

It amazes me that any American finds the actions of the cops and prosecutor acceptable.

In my world, all involved would be fired. The cops who killed him prosecuted and imprisoned.

Do Americans WANT to live in a police state?

America has BEEN a police state...for decades.

No one took America down the path to police statism more than Bush II, and you and your ilk cheered him all while doing it.

Most all of these police incidents that are complained about occur in ultraliberal cities like New York, Chicago or Cleveland.

Not in conservative cities at all.

What a senseless killing.... and simply because they did not collect their taxes on the cigarettes or something like that....?

sigh....

May Eric be resting in peace!

A senseless murder in which the murderers got away scot free.

Where is the outrage?

It's like all of Trump's lies, we've become numb to it.... and that is a very sad and pathetic state of mind....

the Bible says, we become WAXED over COLD.... well if we are not waxed cold to these type of murders, I don't know what else you can call it?

This is such an injustice... why did they not bring charges against the cop that killed him, at least a manslaughter charge, and let the jury decide???

I did not read the link, I heard it on the news...

did the link say who made the decision not to charge anyone?

Really? We are talking about a killing that happened five years ago and you inject Trump?

You lost all credibility.

The fact that Obama, Lynch, Holder didn't see fit to file federal charges against the man tells me it had nothing to do with civil rights.

I was NOT BLAMING Trump AT ALL..... for Eric Garner's death

I was blaming ourselves for the apathy and dis-concern we display now a days on everything that once was shocking to us ALL....

Though it seems like EONS ago, even you Trumpsters once knew right from wrong, once knew Lying was not good, once knew killing a man for resisting arrest for the crime of not paying the taxes on a pack of cigarettes was wrong....

those days are long gone.... the American's soul, is DEAD....waxed over cold.

Satan owns us now.... not God.

THAT'S how I see it... you can differ if you want...

I think you used an opportunity to slam Trump. I'm not a "Trumpster" as you call them, can't vote for him, dislike his policies however we somehow elected him. Your ripping Trump at every opportunity seems to be your norm, just an observation. THAT'S how I see it.

Every time I watch the video, Eric garner thought he was a big black man trying to intimidate white cops. He was in a head lock for 20 seconds. He should have not resisted arrest.

I don't think that Mr. Garner was in very good shape, and probably should have avoided a confrontation with New York's finest.

He really didn't take a massive beatdown, like the late great civil rights leader Rodney King did. I don't think that Mr. King would have even known he was beat down if the video hadn't been released.

No charges brought for this senseless murder. After five long years, our corrupt government makes a decision not to bring charges. I guess they figure we will forget.

The police state rolls on and no one contests it.

'Today we can't breathe.' DOJ will not bring civil rights charge against NYPD officer in death of Eric Garner

The big overweight guy had a heart attack after a scuffle with the cops

He's dead mostly because he was a big fat guy

Being a big guy forced the police to get a little bit rougher with him to get him under control.

But he had severe medical problems, since he could take the little bit of roughing up he got without expiring.

What about this story?

When Sgt. Alan Van't Land of the Colorado Springs Police Department approaches two young black men in the 2100 block of Preuss Road in Colorado Springs, he tells them he is responding to a call about a possible assault. He says the men match suspect descriptions and he has been informed one of them may have a gun.

"So don't reach for your waist. We're gonna just check and make sure that you don't have a weapon. All right?" Van't Land says, according to body camera footage released Thursday.

As another officer approaches the men, one of them, De'Von Bailey, takes off running. "Hands up! Hands up!" the officers yell.

Then a torrent of officer gunfire is unleashed and Bailey falls to the ground.



In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, police had claimed Bailey reached for a firearm prior to running from the officers and being shot.

This is not apparent from the police video. And it's a point underscored by Bailey family attorney Darold Killmer, who spoke to reporters on Thursday.

"Mr. Bailey was trying desperately to flee from the police and he did not have a weapon in his hand. And had not shown any weapon when he was shot in the back and killed," Killmer said.



Ok so my question is this. Should the cops be able to shoot someone who's running away or resisting arrest? Maybe the answer is yes. Seems a bit excessive but I do see both sides of this argument. And first off, is it legal for them to shoot someone who is running away? And if it's not, should it be? I don't think it should be legal to shoot someone who's running away but a part of me asks myself "why not?" What am I running for? What are the cops supposed to do? Maybe you are running for cover or for a better position so you can pull out your gun and start shooting. It certainly is the WRONG move to run when the cops tell you to freeze.
