This doesn't look good for the NYPD huh? What do you think about this guy who took the video of Garner? Is he telling stories or the truth?
Ramsey Orta, the man who filmed New York City Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo applying a fatal chokehold to Eric Garner on July 17, was indicted by a grand jury in Staten Island, New York.
According to the Staten Island Advance, Orta was indicted on weapons charges after an arrest on Aug. 2 in the St. George neighborhood of Staten Island. "They lying on me, they doing me wrong," said Orta after he pleaded not guilty in August, noted the New York Daily News. "I've been harassed by the police since this whole video." Orta's mother told CBS New York that police had been following her son ever since he filmed Garner's death (video below).....snip~

Listening to him talk on his video, I get the impression that he isn't the biggest fan of the cops in the first place. I would wager if you asked him before the video if cops ever "harassed" him, the answer would still be yes.

I don't know. There's no doubt the police were following him. This is really starting to smell foul in any case. I still don't understand why there wasn't an indictment in the death of Garner. It would be interesting to hear the instructions given to the Grand Jury. And now there's this. The fire arms charge puts this Orta in jail for a few years. Why were the police following him? It doesn't look good, but maybe there's a perfectly valid explanation. I'd like to hear it.

Gotta love New York. I'm sure selling cigarettes there would be a capital offense. I think this is a good example of the pitfalls of a nanny state, a way over reaction to something so minor as selling smokes.
His wife is getting it too. She got arrested for allegedly slapping somebody at a grocery store... People who make the NYPD look bad don't last long.

Selling loosies, tagging, rolling bones in the alley, etc. It's all small stuff. Nobody should hassle with it.
Except that it never ends there.
One day someone gets pissed someone moved in on "their" territory and throws a punch. The "victim" comes back with a motorcycle chain. Next thing you know there's a gun, sad as it seems, little Suzy who was just playing on her doorstep gets an "accidental" bullet in her head.
You can't just let "the small stuff" go. All that does is set a precedent for bigger stuff.
People who don't slap other people don't get arrested.
Heya CM. :2wave: Yeah he don't strike me as the type that he would listen to his teachers either. Which if the youth of America has no civility with Teachers and the Police, or respect.....then where does that lead with our future. As then it will be the same for any Authority figures.
Agreed.
If the subjects don't lock their heels and bow their head before our authority figures, where will the authoritarian state be then?
Sieg heil!!!

Don't cross that blue line.
Well until the cops have cameras on them.....then they just can't let laws keep being broken and having it on film.

Yeah. I've never seen a cord accidentally come unplugged or a battery accidentally run out of juice. Where there's a will there's a way, my friend!
So you think it's coincidence that a person who took a video of the NYPD choking a man - would get arrested soon after? You also think it's coincidental that his wife was arrested after?
