Re: The Biggest Gang in America is Above the Law
It's clear this TYT guy is a cop hater and only comments on race related stories. He also has absolutely no knowledge on chokeholds. The choke wasn't illegal at all, however it is against nypd policy to use one. So he's cleared legally, but I see the nypd disciplining him for it. Plus: If you are an unhealthy, morbidly obese person don't resist arrest. |

Re: The Biggest Gang in America is Above the Law
While I do agree the guy in that video is just a reverse racist idiot, using a choke hold as an NYPD officer as a restraint is technically illegal. Illegal in the sense that it's not a legal technique allowed by the department to use. The death was ruled a homicide by the coroner, and the homicide was committed by an officer using a technique that is not allowed. Should the officer face criminal charges? To me it's a toss up, I could see an argument for yes and for no. But should he get disciplined and probably fired, without a doubt. |

Re: The Biggest Gang in America is Above the Law
i'm glad the wheels are turning slowly to make "cops" more accountable for their actions. hell yes to "cop body cams." hell yes to more use of force training, and hell yes to sending corrupt "cops" to the doghouse. no-one is above the law.

Re: The Biggest Gang in America is Above the Law
A determination of "homicide" as used by a coroner/medical examiner only means the death of one human being by another human being. This definition includes both criminal homicides and justifiable homicides by either police or civilians acting in self-defense. A coroner’s investigation is always separate from the law enforcement investigation. To the coroner, “homicide” is a medical examiner’s term of art, NOT a legal concept. Why is it whenever incidents like this happen, everyone turns into an instant police use of force expert? As I've said countless times here on DR, just because you watch a video of an incident, doesn't mean you understand the nuances of what you've watched. I'm not saying that the officers aren't culpable for that fat asshole's death, but just watching the video doesn't give you the knowledge or experience to fully understand what happened and why. The city of New York isn't exactly a hotbed of conservatism or pro-police sympathy. If a New York City grand jury failed to find even the tiniest hint of criminal malfeasance in which to indict, then I'd say there probably wasn't anything criminal to indict. Are we really going to allow a minority making up at best 15% of the overall American population, dictate police policy? Are we going to demonstrate and riot every time a White officer kills a Black criminal? |
