He was not cooperating with or obeying the commands of the police. For that he could be found guilty of resisting arrest. Different issue: One of the cops applied a choke hold. The medical examiner's report indicated that it contributed to Garner's death which was determined to be a homicide. A choke hold in NY is not permitted under any circumstances per NYPD policy. It is considered to be excessive force. Questions: Is the choke therefore against the law? If so, didn't the cop break the law? If so, the law is black or white. You either break it or you don't. If the cop broke the law how can he be found to be not accountable for a homicide? Not trying to be cute here. I don't know the answers to these questions. Laws concerning violence apparently do not apply when the violence is committed by cops. I understand the feelings of some in minority communities who have no respect for cops. There have been too many incidents of cops using grossly excessive force against unarmed suspects and against people who have done nothing wrong. The cops are out of control. Actually the governments are out of control. |
