This is what tyranny looks like.
This is ****ing unreal. It was an prohibited choke hold and the coroner called it a homicide, how does that not generate at the very least a manslaughter charge?
Banned, or not, it wasn't a crime.
Educate yourself - I'm not going to waste my time goggling examples of people who referred to Michael Brown as a gentle giant.
Why do you bother to post messages that exactly 100% of everyone knows is 100% false and 100% show that your message is absolutely without intellectual integrity.
Exactly NO ONE claims Michael Brown was "a gentle giant.":roll:
Who are you trying to persuade, yourself?
That is precisely what the Congress is about to do with the president.What should the police have done instead? Said, "well, since you don't want to be arrested I guess you can break the law" and walk away?
I was a cop when I was in the service.
Not just violating procedure... Of killing a person...
Just watching the video there should have been charges. This appears to not have been done in self defense and after he said "I can't breathe" they continued. I don't know the full story, but given what I see this was excessive force by the police resulting in death even after the suspect told them he couldn't breathe.
It's completely unacceptable and if this is a legal use of force the laws need to be changed. Police are given FAR too much power when they are legally allowed to kill you in the process of apprehension and not acting in self defense.
It looks like his intent wasn't to kill nor is this typically lethal, but with his asthma, obesity and other factors it resulted in death and they should have reacted when he said he couldn't breathe.
This shouldn't have to be a conservative vs democrat thing. This is a civil rights thing. If police can't get indicted on this, then the Grand Jury proceedings is just a gimmick.
What is the point of doing it if it involves cops?
There is no need for a choke hold. The cop needs to be charged and the GJ should admit it to Trial.
This thread reveals we've got a bunch of members accustomed to running from the law in all manner of ways. Police are your boogeymen.
:lamo Yea on the police
Many things will cause death if a person has a heart issue. A tazer. Chasing the person. Wrestling the person to the ground. Just the stress of arresting someone could do it. The list of what can cause a person to die if the person has a heart condition is nearly endless.
The coroner did rule it was a "homicide" - which doesn't make that a fact but certainly is relevant. I haven't read the coroner's report, though. Have you? What did the coroner say caused the death?
Thanks for agreeing with me.Yea,.
What the ****? Those didnt contribute to his death at all... A man choking him did. Pretty simple. You squeeze a mans neck too much and he dies.The GJ may have decided that the man's poor health played a significant factor in his death and that it was a direct result of resisting arrest.
N.Y. cop not indicted in chokehold death - CNN.com
Yea but you don't kill the squeegee men near the Lincoln Tunnel. You use some common sense. I have a friend who a NYC cop for 20 years. He was assigned to remove the homeless as part of stopping the small things. So he offered the guy a happy meal if he came with him to the station. He got OT and easy duty while the homeless guy got a meal and a place to sleep. A win, win. I'm sure there was a better way to handle the situation.

I do! I do!Nope, was not there. But you think cops just waltz up to someone and choke them out for kicks?
Maybe not kill them, I don't know; that seems kind of reasonable.
It was not illegal. It violated the police department policy. He may be disciplined for violating policy.Chokeholds stop people from breathing. People need to breathe to live. Are you saying the cop was too dumb to figure this out? He was too dumb to know the chokehold was illegal"?
And that is the whole purpose of the once revered US Constitution. If you believe what you wrote then get your state to demand an Article V convention of states to propose amendments.Government needs to be restricted to its proper roles and the freedom and liberties of the individual protected. That is how you maintain a Republic. If you read the posts I was responding to, you may have gotten a bit of context as to why these arguments were presented. But that would require a bit of intellectual integrity and honesty on your part.
Its not proven at all. If you look at the bruise on his face the heavy knuckle impact is down by his mouth while the faded, lighter finger impact part is up closer to his jaw joints. Unless Brown has upside down hands this means its more probably likely that Wilson punched himself after the fact.Characterizing him that way is a lie. There is no dispute he smashed the officer in the face. Are you claiming he "gently" slugged the officer in the face? That he was "gentle" in the store?
What is a cop supposed to do when a subject says, "**** you, I'm not going”?
It's par for the course though. Especially with this administration. They seem to be rather selective about the laws they choose to enforce and rather nasty to those who choose to enforce them anyway.
