13. There was no time for back up

Ever been in one of the boroughs? SI doesn't have cop cars every five feet on patrol.

So what if he WAS resisting arrest?

I resisted arrest at a college bar fight up in Niagara Falls in 1994 -

And guess what?

1. No choke hold.
2. They didn't shoot me.
3. No charges were ever pressed.

And I'm black. The N.F. PD didn't do ANY of that shit to ANY young black, white, mixed race, latinos, out of control after last call outside of Little Louie's bar in a fight with a bunch of townies.

That simply didn't happen.

Because it wasn't necessary. They knew how to do their jobs.
