Cop wounded in shootout not happy about de Blasio 8217 s visit New York Post

One of the best things a person can do to support our police is get to know them. This heroic officer was wounded in a shootout. A bullet barely missed his spine and his arm badly damaged.

Hes also an Army veteran of the Iraq War and is still in the Army Airborne as a reservist and was about to go to Africa. His father worries that he may lose his Army career now because he may never be ok to jump out of planes again.

Some think cops are all dumb fat guys who got picked on in high school. So untrue. A few? Sure. Its a diverse group.

I worked with cops at Atlanta who were former NCAA football players. Former military of all branches and a few special forces. Some were former teachers and accountants and businessmen. A few were pprofessional MMA fighters (Forrest Griffin was a famous one). My former patrol Sgt was a biochemist making 6 figures...and miserable. .so he left. And yep...some were just regular Joes and youngsters out of college. One female we had was a cheerleader for the Atlanta Falcons for 2 seasons. And some were lazy. Some were fat slobs. And yes...occasionally there were bad apples who typically got fired within their first few years.


Anyway...this NYPD officer/Army Airborne vet...is a true real life American hero. God Bless him and all the others.

The AR will keep him some position if he is not airborne qualified anymore.

MPs, for instance, do not have to P qualified, and I am sure there are plenty of units in the area that would be thrilled to get him.

Well then most New Yorkers dont know much about the law.

Murder must show malice and intent.

Excessive force injury/death means you must have reason to believe it is LIKELY to result in death. But thag technique...while banned by NYPD policy...is not illegal under the law to arrest someone who IS resisting. ...and it is NOT likely to result in death (martial artists use that technique daily in training and competition and no one dies).

A heart attack due to his obesity that was brought on by HIS decision to resist...killed him.

A terrible accident. A violation of department policy. NOT a crime.

Sorry. Guess New Yorkers are mostly idiots.

We dont govern or arrest based on mob rule or Twitter and Facebook opinions.

Cop committed a policy violation. Not a crime.

Look up answer this time...

A heart attack...and contributing factor was the choke. Still not a crime. Wet roads lead to bad wrecks.

He resisted arrest. By LAW..that neck restraint is NOT illegal to subdue a resistor. It is not likely to result in death...which eliminates intent. It was a policy violation not a crime.

Should the cop.be fired? Maybe. He violated a major policy.

Should he be arrested? No. He didnt commit any crime.

Isaac Woodard, Jr., often written just Isaac Woodard, (March 18, 1919 – September 23, 1992) was an African American World War II veteran who was attacked by South Carolina police in 1946, while still in uniform, hours after being honorably discharged from the United States Army. His attack and injuries sparked national outrage and galvanized the civil rights movement in the United States.

The bus stopped in Batesburg (now Batesburg-Leesville, South Carolina), near Aiken. Though Woodard had caused no disruption, the driver contacted the local police (including Chief of Police Linwood Shull), who forcibly removed Woodard from the bus. After demanding to see his discharge papers, a number of policemen, including Shull, took Woodard to a nearby alleyway, where they beat him repeatedly with nightsticks. They then took Woodard to the town jail and arrested him for disorderly conduct, accusing him of drinking beer in the back of the bus with other soldiers.
During the course of the night in jail, Shull beat and blinded Woodard. Woodard also suffered partial amnesia as a result of his injuries.

In his court testimony, Woodard stated that he was punched in the eyes by police several times on the way to the jail, and later repeatedly jabbed in his eyes with a billy club.[4] Newspaper accounts[5] indicate that Woodard's eyes had been "gouged out"; historical documents indicate that each globe was ruptured irreparably in the socket.[6]

By all accounts, the trial was a travesty. The local U.S. Attorney charged with handling the case failed to interview anyone except the bus driver, a decision that Waring, a civil rights proponent, believed was a gross dereliction of duty. Waring later wrote of being disgusted at the way the case was handled at the local level, commenting, "I was shocked by the hypocrisy of my government...in submitting that disgraceful case...."[12]

On November 5, after thirty minutes of deliberation, the jury found Shull not guilty on all charges, despite his admission that he had blinded Woodard. The courtroom broke into applause upon hearing the verdict.[12] The failure to gain conviction of Shull was perceived as a political failure by the Truman administration. Shull was never punished, dying in Batesburg, South Carolina on December 27, 1997 at age 95.

Yeah,let's hope his son never encounter one of many, who would excuse the actions of every Officer, no matter what.

We have a very effective way in our town where I grew up in dealing with bad cops.

To say "I can't breathe!" or any other phrase, it is necessary that air passes over the vocal cords...on its way out of the lungs. Garner is reported to have said it several times, meaning air was going into and out of his lungs. Maybe Garner was lying.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Maybe Garner was dying.

The jurors in the Grand Jury were and are New Yorkers themselves. Why would these New Yorkers come to a different decision than New Yorkers sitting at home getting their information from the internet? Because the Grand Jurors had ALL the information.
