Specifically, an autopsy indicated that Garner's death resulted from "[compression] of neck, compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police"[/quote]
The autopsy stated that the actions of the officer led to his preexisting conditions that took his life. The same thing could have happened if he pushed Garner against the wall and handcuffed him. The fact of the matter is (like Floyd) he would have easily lived through it like the tens of thousands who are arrested every year the same way had he been taking care of his medical problems.
Did you not read that part.
Asthma, heart disease, and obesity were cited as contributing factors.
Had he been healthier he may not have died, but the number one factor was the Chokehold that was put on him.
More bullshit, these clowns were indicted on 2nd degree murder charges, the trial was moved to a lily white town in upstate NY where a white, racist judge let them off with murder and then the city paid his family 61 million dollars.
The same thing happened here with Tamir Rice. The grand jury found the officer innocent of any wrongdoing, and the city still paid the family 5 million taxpayer dollars even though the officer acted in accordance with the law. What the city paid is not indicative of any guilt, it's pure politics using taxpayer money.
That case didn't even go to trial, Tamir rice is totally different than Amadou Diallo.
The trial was moved because of the uncivilized behavior of the people in that community, the same reason the Chauvin trail should have been moved.
The trial was moved because they knew if they could go to a predominately ALL WHITE area they would get off like they have for decades.
A department administrative trial found the officers acted improperly during the 2006 shooting incident, New York Police Department Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly fired Det. Gescard Isnora; fellow detectives Marc Cooper, Michael Oliver and Lt. Gary Napoli announced they will resign. NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said, “There was nothing in the record to warrant overturning the decision” of punishing the officers.
Again, all politics. They did nothing wrong otherwise they would have been convicted.
History in America shows that is a lie, cops have been getting away with killing black folks since this country was founded. Your denial doesn't change that fact.
Of course a white judge let them get away with murder, it's just par for the course.
Lt Gary Napoli, who has also been accused of incompetence, has also testified he didn't hear his men identify themselves as cops before they killed Bell on his wedding day - and badly wounded two of his buddies.
Right, so this guy who was also facing disciplinary charges looking for a break didn't make this up to get more leniency.
....and we are to believe that the other officers identified themselves when the witnessed claimed they didn't, but the witnesses had to be lying because they were black and we are conditioned to believe white officers because white is right.
These were veteran police officers, not rookies. They do the same thing the same way for years on end. But just this only time, all three forgot to identify themselves as police officers simultaniously when that's what they've been doing in their entire career? You mean to tell me you are so gullible to believe that????
Yea they have been doing this for years and getting away with it. Just like a cop who pulls their gun when they meant to grab their tazor even though one is black one is yellow and the gun is alot heavier. Are we suppose to believe a 26yr veteran couldn't tell the difference between the 2.
There is also the fact that when the shooting started, he hid under his dashboard like a coward. He didn't testify that they didn't identify themselves, he testified that "he didn't hear" them. But if you're scared shitless, you are not in the mindset to take accurate account of everything going on around you.
Right, but the folks who are doing all the shooting can remember everything to a T. I have seen guys who claim to be so gunho, but when the firing starts they piss their pants. So you don't know how folks will react when bullets start flying.
Not per capita, oh that's right you only use that when you think it puts you to an advantage.Well we know that is a lie, that rule applies to white folks. Hell we have seen whites shoot cops, come at cops with knives, drive off from cops and you don't see not one shot.
Yet more white suspects, and even unarmed white suspects are shot and killed by police every year than blacks.
While blacks are a much smaller percentage of our population, they are the majority of all violent crime and theft in this country.
Post the numbers that prove that.
You are patted down when cuffed, how many have pulled a gun out of their pocket while lying face down with an officer on top of them.
None if the officer IS on top of them, but that's why they are on top of them in the first place.
So how was George Floyd a threat?
