I live in Manhattan, and the news hit pretty hard. There's no ambiguity to be found in the video of the man's death [you can easily find it yourself], it has what happened and was said before the altercation, all is visible during the altercation, and all that happened after Mr. Garner was 'subdued'. I think people want very badly to pin blame on victims of any crime be it rape [she wore a miniskirt/men don't get raped] or murder [he was fat/he fit a 'description'] because the alternative would mean coming face to face with the reality that we live in a world where people do terrible things to other people just because they want to, and can happily get away with it sometimes. And that the victim next time could be them. Or their friend, wife, husband, daughter or son. It's much safer to distance and blame, to say 'that could never be me', but it does nothing to make a world where that statement actually won't be true.

Something the black movement community (and white progressives media pundits) are trying to keep hidden.

Black female Police sergeant Kizzy Adoni supervised the fatal arrest of Eric Garner.

The Black female police sergeant is not shown in the countless replays in the media of cellphone footage that showed white male police officers confronting and taking down Garner but she is said to be seen in the video.

From a police report reported by PIX11 in July, the sergeant’s name appears to be Kizzy Adoni.

“Another female sergeant, Kizzy Adoni, made a similar statement in the report. She “believed she heard” Garner say he was having difficulty breathing. Adoni also said “The perpetrator’s condition did not seem serious and he did not appear to get worse.””

There is no mention of Adoni in a Google News search of the latest reports on the Garner decision.

There are very few mentions at all that a Black female sergeant oversaw the attempted arrest of Garner.

NBC News in New York reported the sergeants at the scene were offered immunity for their testimony before the grand jury.

“Pantaleo is the only NYPD member facing possible indictment. Others at the scene, including two sergeants, were offered immunity for their testimony to the grand jury.”

Denis Hamill wrote at the New York Daily News that a federal civil rights case will likely be scuttled by the presence and oversight of Pantaleo’s actions by the Black female sergeant–who did not intervene in the attempted arrest.

“Pantaleo who applied the lethal chokehold on Eric Garner was supervised by an African-American female NYPD sergeant.

“Having that black sergeant in charge of that crime scene takes race out of the equation. As awful as Pantaleo’s actions appear on that video, at no time does that black sergeant order Pantaleo to stop choking Garner.

…”Any chance of a federal civil rights case will be hampered by that African-American police sergeant’s presence.”

Does Attorney General Eric Holder know?
He just opened a civil rights investigation on Eric Garner’s death.

Holder can investigate all he wants, everyone knows garner wasn't killed because he was black or anything to do with race.

He was killed because an illegal restraint maneuver was performed on him.

He's dead due entirely to his own low life actions.

ALL Ghetto Trash Thugs and Habitual Criminals like him should die.

And their supporters and apologists should all drink large quantities of Drano.

Drink up, you brain dead Occutard and Black ******* Useful Idiots.

The good citizens of the USA don't want habitual offenders like Eric Garner or strong arm robbers like Michael Brown in their neighborhoods, if their interactions with law enforcement result in their deaths, it's on them

1. There is no doubt that Garner was resisting an arrest for illegally selling untaxed cigarettes. Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik put it succinctly: "You cannot resist arrest. If Eric Garner did not resist arrest, the outcome of this case would have been very different," he told Newsmax. "He wouldn't be dead today.

"Regardless of what the arrest was for, the officers don't have the ability to say, 'Well, this is a minor arrest, so we're just going to ignore you.'"

2. The video of the July 17 incident clearly shows Garner, an African-American, swatting away the arms of a white officer seeking to take him into custody, telling him: "Don't touch me!"

3. Garner, 43, had history of more than 30 arrests dating back to 1980, on charges including assault and grand larceny.

4. At the time of his death, Garner was out on bail after being charged with illegally selling cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession and false impersonation.

5. The chokehold that Patrolman Daniel Pantaleo put on Garner was reported to have contributed to his death. But Garner, who was 6-foot-3 and weighed 350 pounds, suffered from a number of health problems, including heart disease, severe asthma, diabetes, obesity, and sleep apnea. Pantaleo's attorney and police union officials argued that Garner's poor health was the main cause of his death.

6. Garner did not die at the scene of the confrontation. He suffered cardiac arrest in the ambulance taking him to the hospital and was pronounced dead about an hour later.

7. Much has been made of the fact that the use of chokeholds by police is prohibited in New York City. But officers reportedly still use them. Between 2009 and mid-2014, the Civilian Complaint Review Board received 1,128 chokehold allegations.

Patrick Lynch, president of the New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, said: "It was clear that the officer's intention was to do nothing more than take Mr. Garner into custody as instructed, and that he used the takedown technique that he learned in the academy when Mr. Garner refused."

8. The grand jury began hearing the case on Sept. 29 and did not reach a decision until Wednesday, so there is much testimony that was presented that has not been made public.

9. The 23-member grand jury included nine non-white jurors.

10. In order to find Officer Pantaleo criminally negligent, the grand jury would have had to determine that he knew there was a "substantial risk" that Garner would have died due to the takedown.

11. Less than a month after Garner's death, Ramsey Orta, who shot the much-viewed videotape of the encounter, was indicted on weapons charges. Police alleged that Orta had slipped a .25-caliber handgun into a teenage accomplice's waistband outside a New York Hotel.

Every single year I see children changing. Over the course of about 20 years, those children and their children have lost a certain respect for authority, morality, values, etc ... and a loss of respect for education. It's going to be a heavy price in a few more years.
