I must be missing something. Tell me why Eric Garner is dead. Tell me why there were no charges filed. If the government wants to incite a bottom up revolt to institute top down martial law, they are well on their way. That or they actually want Civil War II.

Ferguson 2.0? Grand Jury Fails To Indict White NYPD Cop In Chokehold-Death Case
A Staten Island grand jury has decided not to indict white NYPD officer Daniel Panateleo, according to NY1, who allegedly used a banned chokehold and killed Eric Garner, a 400lb black man, who was stopped on suspicion of selling loose cigarettes. Eric Garner’s son has called for peace and hopes there is no Ferguson-like response…
I am of the opinion that once Barney starts having REAL consequences for violating the rights of others, he will stop. We have reason to believe that these consequences will not come from the dept.s themselves or from any other official entity. What does this leave us with?
While I understand that police have a hard job, it is a job that they voluntarily do. If they cannot do their jobs without violating rights then perhaps it would be better for them to be a baker or a carpenter.
We are at the point Ms. Wolffe described so long ago, but we are so very close to the end of that time. Will we have the stones to grit our teeth and do the unsavory things we must? Face your children after a night “out with your friends”?

‘Tell me why Eric Garner is dead. Tell me why there were no charges filed.’
He died because he resisted arrest and the stress on his heart, coupled with what some have said was incompetent EMTs, killed him. No charges were filed because the Grand Jury did not find evidence that the cops had broken any laws.
Resisting arrest for what? As I understand it, he had just broken up a fight and was not doing anything illegal. From what I say on the video, he was only asking to be left alone. Once he was in a choke hold, I say no resistance of any kind. The coroner’s report said that his death was a homicide.
If I choke someone and the stress kills him, should I face no charges?
From what I understand, the businesses he sold cigarettes [regardless of your opinion of the law, the fact is what he was doing was illegal] in front of called the cops, Garner was on probation [Garner had been previously arrested and was out on bail for selling untaxed cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession, and false personation. Garner had a criminal record that includes more than 30 arrests dating back to 1980 on charges such as assault, resisting arrest, grand larceny ] this dude was known to the cops. This dude also knew how probation and arrests works, he chose of his own free will to resist.
If the cops go to arrest somebody and the suspect says, ‘leave me alone,’ they’re supposed to leave them alone? Then what?
But he was not being arrested.
He was clearly being arrested when the cops went to cuff him and he resisted. Had he cooperated from the beginning he may have been let off easy, I don’t know, but when cops decide to act they have to follow through. For police to have any meaning they have to have the power to compel compliance. Only the courts can reverse a police decision, because if anybody can dispute at the point of arrest then police have no meaning and the law can only be enforced on the physically weak or timid.
Will you resist arrest or submit? Everyone needs to consider their options and outcomes.
