11 Facts About the Eric Garner Case the Media Won't Tell You

[ChrisL]

Yeah cause telling the cops you didn't do anything is stupid, you're just begging to have them kill you when you resist.

Because everyone admits they're guilty, right? Geez dude you can't stop the stupid can you. You're amazingly the lead of the stupid club on here.

I know, right? They are ALL innocent. They didn't do it! "These are not my pants. I found them and don't know how the drugs got in there!"

Moron.

Who's a moron? Yourself for believing suspects who claim they are innocent and for not knowing about the "these are not my pants" defense? Agreed. Lol!

Well apparently, Mr. Garner was known to the police. Perhaps they considered him a threat?

Eric Garner Criminal Past Emerges 30 Arrests In 34 Years Including Assault

“Garner, 43, had history of more than 30 arrests dating back to 1980, on charges including assault and grand larceny,” writes Newsmax’s Jim Meyers, taking his information from the WSJ report.

(Interesting side note: That would make Garner’s first arrest at just 10-years-old, which calls into question how WSJ got its info since those early records should, by all accounts, be unavailable to the public considering Garner was a juvenile at the time he was brought in for the unspecified offense.)

Meyers notes that at the time of Garner’s death, he was “out on bail after being charged with illegally selling cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession, and false impersonation.”

Former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik, adding meat to Meyers’ report, attempts to place the death of Eric Garner on the man himself, noting that on the day of Garner’s death, he was illegally selling untaxed cigarettes, and that he is technically resisting arrest in the now-viral video depicting his death.

“You cannot resist arrest,” Kerik states.

“If Eric Garner did not resist arrest, the outcome of this case would have been very different. He wouldn’t be dead today… Regardless of what the arrest was for, the officers don’t have the ability to say, ‘Well, this is a minor arrest, so we’re just going to ignore you.'”

Instead, the people pointing out that Eric Garner was a criminal claim it would have been arrest number 31 over a 34-year period.

Even so, there is the fact that Officer Daniel Pantaleo can be seen on the video below applying a banned chokehold to Garner. To this point, Newsmax notes that the chokehold alone should not have been enough to kill Garner.

At 350 pounds, Garner suffered from “a number of health problems, including heart disease, severe asthma, diabetes, obesity, and sleep apnea.”

Also, Garner did not die at the scene, a common misconception among those discussing the case on social media. Instead he “suffered cardiac arrest in the ambulance taking him to the hospital and was pronounced dead about an hour later,” Newsmax notes.

Last but not least, the site points out that the 23 grand jurors, “including nine non-white jurors,” heard evidence and testimony over a more than two-month period and that unlike in the Ferguson case of Michael Brown, the evidence has not been made public so going by just the video leaves out a lot regarding why and how the grand jury reached its decision.

You think they sent 12 police officers to arrest one guy for selling 75 cent loosies? Yeah anyone that believes that is a moron.

so why do you supposed 12 police officers were sent?

Some people would have you believe it's because the cops just want to kill black men. Nobody had to call them. They just saw a black man on the street and decided to attack him and kill him, is what the crazy loons on the left want to believe.

 

[ChrisL]

The video doesn't look good. Yes Garner was a moron....but cops mostly deal with morons.

No way the guy should have died for selling cigarettes. The cops screwed up.

No, the cops do not make policy. They only enforce it. If a person is dumb enough to think that you can argue policy with the street cops, then I don't know what to say.

 

[ChrisL]

If "loosies" are NOT illegal, then how in the hell would you expect them to regulate and tax cigarettes!!??? WTH???? Do you want cigarettes regulated and taxed or not? If you allow people to sell loosies on the street corners then you cannot possibly regulate and tax them now, can you?

yeah I know. But why 12 police? they knew who it was and were most likely aware he would resist. Could it be he had in the past? I don't get it, 70 other blacks died in the same period of time, probably more by now, but no one cares for those 70 lives. No one, haven't seen one outcry to protect them, I'm sorry that I don't get it, I don't. I watched the video of Garner's confrontation, he was clearly resisting the orders of the officer. he was told to move on I supposed, can't hear the cop, but based on the response of Garner I will assume that to be the case. A clear violation caught on video. The cops wanted him to move on, and he refused, they went to move him and he resisted more, so then they were going to remove him and in that confrontation died. Still don't see the injustice. how else does one move a 350 lb man who doesn't want to move? I'm waiting for someone to explain that.

I have no idea why 12 officers would be called, but I would imagine there was a reason, unless perhaps there was a doughnut shop close by.

But seriously, I don't know how many times people have to be told that you don't fight with the cops on the street. They are not in "charge" of anything. They are simply following orders given by a superior. They have no say in what happens and if you fight them, they are going to restrain you at all costs. If you have issues, you take that up in court with your lawyer later. You do not fight and resist officers on the street because they are going to fight back because that is their JOB. They don't know you or what you are capable of doing. Their job is to protect the public.

It's funny how the left is trying to turn Michael Brown and Eric Garner into Rosa Parks-like civil rights symbols. Funny but sad.

 

[ChrisL]

prove what?

Local business complaints about Garner's activities on the day he died.

Do we really need proof of that? The guy was outside of their shops selling untaxed cigarettes and stealing their business away. Hello?

Oh, I'm sure the local honest business owners just welcome a guy like this into their neighborhoods. Ha-ha-ha! And THIS is why I say many liberals are sorely lacking in the common sense department. This thread is a perfect example.

Al Sharpton says since Garner was black he's allowed to break the law continually and get away with it. And the cops must just stand there and be nice, and only "negotiate" with someone who is breaking the law and proven to infringe on the rights of others in the neighborhood and community. If by chance when a black man resists arrest, and the crime isn't that big a deal, like robbery, selling counterfeit items, selling drugs, or selling loosies, cops should just walk away.

so you're ok with black on black death?

What does "black on black death" have to do with the inhumanity shown to Eric Garner by NYPD and other public servants AFTER Garner was in their custody?

What inhumanity? the EMT picked him up and took him to the hospital where he died from SELF INFLICTED causes!

Bullshit... he was dead on that concrete.

He died about an hour after the incident.

They "declared" him dead about an hour after. That does not necessarily mean that he died an hour after.

You can see that he's dead on the concrete... No? They did not perform CPR to revive him for the length of the video. Are we to believe that they revived him on the way back? Then he died a second time of a heart attack?

OMG, so the reason why CPR wasn't applied was because he was still breathing

"Austin, Tex.: It was difficult to watch the video of Eric Garner on the ground in New York. As a registered nurse, I watched in horror as not one officer attempted to do even basic CPR. Garner was left to die. His heart attack in the ambulance was due to his lack of oxygenation. Every officer there failed to render aid. Tragic. Shari Medlin"

[georgephillip]

why don't you?

Start a thread about black on black violence and we'll all find out. This thread is about Eric Garner's treatment at the hands of the NYPD; raising the topic of black on black crime is simply a straw man or red herring.

 

[georgephillip]

well why do you believe they were there? It was what the cops reported.

According to accounts I've read the cops were responding to a call about a fight which some eyewitnesses claim Garner had broken up before police arrived on the scene. If this is accurate, the officers spotted Garner and jumped to all the wrong conclusions. This is probably the starting point to understand what happened that day. Why did police respond in the first place, and was Garner selling "loosies" at the location and time of his death.
