To those who think the Garner case cop should've been indicted,On what basis? We all agree it was not an intentional killing, so we must be talking criminal negligent homicide, right? Go on record with what charge and why. If negligence, say how he was negligent. That is, say whether a reasonable person in the officer's shoes would have foreseen that garner would die from such a brief choke. I am not seeing it, but you all are, so I want to know. I know the first answer will be "chokeholds are banned," and I have addressed that and will again if necessary.

What other excuses are you good with?

How about, "I didn't know the gun was loaded?"

Soon they'll be gang tackling black guys for selling 24 oz cokes in the alley.

You can see how these cop gang incidents escalate. A bunch of guys standing around just waiting to pounce. Adrenaline pumping sky high until the switch is flipped and all move in in unison for the take down. Jockeying for position to get the choice cut which is usually the knee (with full body weight) on the jaw. The other guys....dis-appointed that they didn't get the prime cut of the kill over compensate with the old knee grinder to the legs or back. Of course, there is the one lucky fella who is in position to get that back arm bar and pop that shoulder out of socket as the pain delivery apparatus in his brain is red lining. All to "apprehend" a man who likely could not get off the ground unassisted without major effort and exertion. But procedure....you know.
