20. whether or not Garner was a victim is immaterial

A grand jury decided he wasn't, and part of the problem with grand juries to begin with is that the public isn't made aware of why or how the jury came to that conclusion, but there is a reason that they did. The fact is had he not resisted arrest he'd be alive as there would have been no reason to take him down however it was done. There is no denying that fact. Personally, I'm not at all comfortable with his death and how his breathing was disabled by police, but since I don't know how or why the jury came to the conclusion they did as we aren't allowed to know that it is a fact that had he not resisted arrest it would not have occurred.

All your post is doing is further politicizing. The deaths of these two officers IS connected to Garner since that was the reason that this fuck decided to travel to NY and kill two NYPD officers and why a family member of the ex-girlfriend he wounded warned the Baltimore police who warned the NYPD though the warning came in to the NYPD at almost the exact moment of the shooting of the officers.

It does not have anything to do with whether or not Garner is a victim or how he died or why he died or why the grand jury made the decision that it was not indictable, but it's Garner's death that had everything to do with why this asshole traveled to NY to murder two NYPD officers in cold blood. They were assassinated while sitting in their squad car minding their own business and likely never even saw anyone about to kill them. Their deaths are in NO WAY comparable to Garner's, and you're bringing this up does nothing but encourage the politicization about it that you claim to not want. These three deaths are in NO WAY equal, and your post tries to make that so. Garner died accidentally - no officer had any intension to kill him - and had he not resisted arrest he wouldn't have been in any position to have his breathing restricted. These two officers were assassinated by an evil shit who traveled to NY expressly to assassinate two NYPD officers in cold blood in a twisted attempt at revenge for Garner's accidental death.

All post does is further politicize their murders, and shame on you for also attempting to make their deaths equal to that of Garner's. Those two officers were sitting in that car where they were and where they were not normally assigned to in order to provide a police presence because of the crime and violence in the area - in order to PROTECT people just by their presence - and were assassinated in cold blood by an evil nut case that traveled to the city for the exact reason to murder two and possibly even more NYPD officers. He also very well may have wounded his ex-girlfriend because she knew what he planned to do and tried to stop him. Luckily she didn't end up dying from his shooting her (at least not yet - we don't yet know how critical her condition is).

Garner's family utterly condemned their murders and weren't so crass as to even bring Eric's death up at all - who are you to do that and to try to make their cold blooded murders equal to that of Eric Garner's accidental death in resisting arrest for being caught once again doing something criminal that he had a very long history of?

Baloney you don't want the murders of these officers politicized - you just did in more ways than one.
