Don't worry I don't mistaake you for someone capable of rational thought random thoughts Send a noteboard - 04/12/2014 10:56:44 PM

I see nothing in the video to indicate he needed CPR. If he did and it was neglected then you would be correct but you need to support that. You are also right that I am being uncompassionate in my evaluation, that is the only way to stay rational in a situation like this. Feeling it was wrong and shouldn't have happened is not relevant. This a tragedy for everyone involved and I do feel for that man's family I just don't have your hatred for cops so I don't think sending a man to prison for making a mistake in very difficult job is the right thing to do.

The choke hold is not allowed and that is why he should be fired but he was not suffocating him, he was chocking him which is a violation of police policy but not the law. When you fight being arrested it doesn't matter why they are arresting you they have the right to use force and they are trained to quickly with overwhelming force. If you are injured during that struggle the primary blame lays with you.

Most the reaction I see to this video is squeamish over reaction to the level of violence police deal with everyday. He is big man so if you are going to use force you need to bring him down hard and fast and completely immobilize and dominate him. If you don't want that don't fight the police.

123 blacks shot to death by cops in 2012; 326 whites. Cannoli - 05/12/2014 12:40:56 AM 880 Views
These numbers make me angry. Urza - 05/12/2014 05:39:26 AM 748 Views
I hate these stats, so misleading. Only 13% of the US population is black! Nebhead - 05/12/2014 02:02:18 PM 927 Views

Danger is my middle name. *NM* nossy - 05/12/2014 04:47:23 PM 394 Views
But that's a completely separate issue than the one that the post is talking about. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 05:12:44 PM 872 Views
Heh, yes. Because none of us ever adds layers to these posts. Ever. nossy - 05/12/2014 07:34:04 PM 787 Views
That is SUCH A BAD SENTENCE. nossy - 05/12/2014 08:07:18 PM 772 Views

Okay. I can agree that we do go on tangents. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 10:23:21 PM 1024 Views

So what you have implied here then is that The Shrike - 05/12/2014 04:05:10 PM 758 Views
That's a fair assumption to make *shrug* *NM* Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:35:59 PM 511 Views
And now you're the one doing exactly what you implied Cannoli was doing. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 05:17:25 PM 694 Views
Implicit in your posts seems to be the assumption that crime rates and arrest rates are equal Ghavrel - 06/12/2014 09:26:13 AM 833 Views
If you want to keep getting deeper in the weeds..... Anonymous2000 - 06/12/2014 07:28:49 PM 671 Views
I'm not disputing that; I'm saying there's an issue with the overall rates of arrest. *NM* Ghavrel - 06/12/2014 08:29:49 PM 341 Views
the problem with your example is it the execption not the rule random thoughts - 08/12/2014 02:40:14 PM 725 Views
I don't have any proof of that either way. I agree that broken window policing plays a role. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/12/2014 12:25:14 AM 297 Views
They question is it it worth the cost? random thoughts - 09/12/2014 04:40:02 PM 576 Views
...I'm doing no such thing. Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:27:13 PM 856 Views
L-Dog is right, you are wrong, look at the proportion of crimes committed..... Anonymous2000 - 05/12/2014 06:30:29 PM 765 Views
Erm, no. Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:34:38 PM 974 Views

he was not choked to death and he was not choked for selling cigerettes random thoughts - 04/12/2014 02:28:44 PM 728 Views
I mean, "Killed him without intent" is pretty much the definition of manslaughter, isn't it? *NM* beetnemesis - 04/12/2014 04:44:18 PM 403 Views
sorry but it isn't random thoughts - 04/12/2014 05:54:27 PM 689 Views

The guy is dead due to preexisting medical conditions and for resisting arrest. Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 05:11:41 PM 663 Views
watch the video below - the choke hold applied is barred from use by NYPD rules moondog - 04/12/2014 07:43:15 PM 837 Views
The multi-racial grand jury concluded it wasn't a choke hold. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 07:47:31 PM 328 Views
with secret testimony how do you know for sure? they only chose not to indict moondog - 04/12/2014 07:52:04 PM 653 Views
The grand jury had all the facts, much, much, much more than you could imagine. Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 08:00:51 PM 721 Views
the grand jury had all the facts the DA felt they needed to not indict and much much more moondog - 04/12/2014 08:10:26 PM 601 Views
according to you all they needed was the video and if they didn't see that there is a problem *NM* random thoughts - 04/12/2014 10:58:34 PM 371 Views
I find this video much more damning random thoughts - 05/12/2014 05:01:11 AM 864 Views
That's pretty much what a police lieutenant in my hometown said. Cannoli - 05/12/2014 05:42:51 AM 812 Views
where did you get the heart attack from? wikipedia shows it as a homicide, as it should moondog - 04/12/2014 06:32:44 PM 679 Views
Homicide doesn't equal crime, look up the medical/legal definition of the word. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 07:49:06 PM 316 Views
if only it were possible to get to the facts in a court case to prove one way or the other *NM* moondog - 04/12/2014 07:53:18 PM 355 Views
