He praised the officer, Daniel Pantaleo, as a good man, a mature policeman and an Eagle Scout who "went out and did a difficult job, a job where there's no script, and sometimes with that there's tragedy that comes."

"It's also a tragedy for this police officer who has to live with that death," Lynch said.

He also praised New York police for their handling of protests on Wednesday night, when thousands who objected to the decision took to the streets. Lynch lashed out at Mayor Bill de Blasio, who said on Wednesday that the grand jury's decision not to bring charges was "one that many in our city did not want."

He suggested that the mayor was teaching children to fear police officers, and he said the lesson instead should be to comply with police officers, even if they feel an arrest is unjust.

"You cannot resist arrest," Lynch said. "Because resisting arrest leads to confrontation. Confrontation leads to tragedy."

1. Jesus, is there a police union chief that's not a sick, demented fuck? nt

2. So, Pantaleo gets away with using a banned technique?

Does he not at least get a slap on the wrist for THAT?

3. Comply, comply, comply

Translation:
You had better be scared of us and do what we say without a peep because no one is going to go against us if something bad were to happen.

4. I am a huge supporter of unions, but time to end them for cops.

You can have them back when you earn them.

When you are completely reorganized into non violent, community supporting, community representing entities.

5. People would be up at arms if they knew how bad things really are...

I had a friend who was a firefighter in a rather large scale city.....he was a Capt and EMS...well things he told me they believed about people .....people of color particularly...turned my stomach. I couldn't listen to him anymore it was milk curdling bad! I finally had to tell him not to email me anymore...and cut him off because the things he told me about what goes on around the station and while out on calls....scared me to death...I didn't want to know any more about it...and my friend was not nearly as far gone as his buddies were. I cannot imagine how they can do their jobs properly and think like they do...

6. Police "Unions" exist to protect those who protect the system.

Those who protect the system, those with the enforcement authority of the government do not union collective bargaining rights.

7. Blaming the victim, I see...

Cops nowadays not only do not know how to defuse a situation, they appear to want to escalate it.
