Man Dies After NYPD Chokehold

[T.Lex]

All I have to say is that someone has to decide on a chant, theme, whatever.

We've got "Hands up, Don't shoot" and "I can't breathe" battling for T-shirt and poster supremacy, but frankly neither one has panache.

Johnny Cochran, oh how we miss you.

While I generally agree, I think "Hands up, don't shoot" has some future potential. It has that "Tastes great, less filling" vibe.

Give me liberty, or give me marketing.

I see the melodic nature of the chant, but it has the downside of having every​ thinking person who care about, ya know, facts...rolling their eyes.

Are these deaths proof that smoking products are bad for your health?

Criminal liability is not the same as civil liability.

No, but I was referring to the "Rainmaker" side of it for the $$$.

Pretty good payday for a guy selling loose cigarettes for a living. You would also have some substantial comparative fault on his side.

Did anybody have any doubts that his wife would be paid a healthy sum?

Kut (didn't)

Sooo, the family got money from the city and the hospital...and yet the esteemed Rev. Sharpton was quoted as saying "we didn't march and build a movement just to get money".

Sharpton was completely truthful. They marched and built a movement to get money AND ACCUMULATE POLITICAL LEVERAGE FOR THEMSELVES.

The mayor offered a few conciliatory remarks, but has failed to fire brutal NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who has been sued on three separate occasions — besides Garner’s death — for violating civil rights.

Does the mayor have that power?

Don't bother us with legal niceties... we want action, when do we want it? Now!

This is kind of over the top. Is he brutal for the death or for the three alleged false arrest accusations he is being sued for?

Washington-based federal prosecutors plan to aggressively pursue charges against NYPD cop Daniel Pantaleo for the chokehold death of Eric Garner on Staten Island, a law enforcement source told The Post on Tuesday.

I bet they are not.

NYPD Feds? You mean the FBI/DOJ NYC Office? Then yes, they should be upset. They were tasked with a job, they did their job, and now Washington over ruled their findings. Why bother to ask them in the first place if you were not going to stand by them. This reeks of politics.
