Eric Garner was not one of those criminals.
quote:I don't think any of those cops intended to kill Garner.
Garner's death was found by the New York City Medical Examiner's Office to be a result of "compression of neck (choke hold), compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police". Asthma, heart disease, and obesity were cited as contributing factors.

How about a law similar to trespassing for illegals that have been deported? First time you are caught, you roll your happy arse home. The second time will carry a minimum, mandatory federal sentence of 15 years.
Wont work. Taxpayers would be paying the bill.

I almost said, "His actions and his terrible health contributed to his death", but I didn't want to be a dick.

If the cop was here illegally after committing crimes while living in a sanctuary city, then yes

Bringing up color shows you do care a little.

Tamar rice and Castile cases were worthy of outrage.
However I can find several cases where white people were killed by cops and there were no left wing protests.
The protests are nothing more than political opportunism.

People of color feel hurt, and disillusioned after jury acquits "killer cops" brutalizing people of color with impunity.
Now, white conservatives feel hurt and disillusionment after jury acquits illegal immigrant after killing a white woman.
Is this comparable? Did the system fail all Americans?
Comparable? It's almost identical. If this wasn't a pretty white girl you would have heard nothing about it

We know the left doesn’t care about brown people killing brown people. They encourage it. Your point?

dumb comparison
Cops get off regardless
White cops are also less likely to use excessive force vs black or brown perps than they are against white ones.

If you are here illegally, you are NOT an immigrant.
I really don't understand why we don't use the actual definitions of the words we use to describe actual events and situations.
You are not an "immigrant" until you are legally accepted. Until that time you are an ALIEN.
You can be a LEGAL alien by having a visa - or you can be an ILLEGAL alien by violating our LAWs and sneaking across the border or violating the terms of your visa.
I hate all the euphemisms the prog/DEM/MSM cabal have created to hide their true intentions of destroying the fabric of America which has been so laboriously weaved (by BOTH political parties) during the first 200 years of our advance to the top of the civilized world.

And whose fault is that?? The MSM is the source of "what we hear about."
Conservatives have been begging the MSM for decades to devote as much attention to the dozens of blacks killed almost daily in the progressive 'utopias' of the big urban areas as they do to 'high profile' cases.
The same MSM that lectures conservatives on their 'biases' only concentrate on crime when it involves 'pretty people' or 'police impropriety.' Meanwhile, they blame conservatives for creating the 'divisiveness' that they claim underlies all this mayhem.
If they were serious about reducing the murder rates, they would devote as much investigative effort into the underlying causes of crimes in Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc as they do to digging up dirt from 40 years ago on Roy Moore.
But they won't touch the causes of crime in those urban utopia and reserve their efforts to propagandize 'police brutality' memes whenever one of these miscreants attack a police officer and gets harmed/killed in the process.

Deport abusive cops. I like it.

Are you gonna make me post the stats on how many blacks and whites are killed by police?
Please don't play with stats if you don't know how to interpret the data. I believe the stats show that despite whites being the majority blacks are killed by the police at a much higher rate, which is where the problem resides.
