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 Grand Jury decision is very much in dispute. Many in law enforcement, many in criminal justice, many lawyers, and many even in the Staten Island Police Dept. are bewildered by the Grand Jury decision.

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.


Please explain why Mr. Garner was being arrested. If he indeed sold a cigarette that day, it's a citation, not an arrest. He was arrested for merely questioning the police officers. That is so very wrong.

All your post is doing is further politicizing


lol, yeah lil ole me is doing that. Puhhhleeeze.

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


Connected only in the fact that he wanted notoriety and used Garner in his postings to get it.

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.


link for that, please.

These three deaths are in NO WAY equal, and your post tries to make that so


please read my original thread again. I didn't claim they were equal, at all!!!

I'll go further, if necessary, but I find you post to completely miss the point.
