deblassio said just today the cop who killed the black guy by sitting on his neck should be fired and charged....
deblassios press conference tomorrow should be interesting, hes talking about hes has to fire police and first responders because trump wont give him money.
easy, fire the cops with the most complaints on their records, fire the ones that sit on peoples necks and attack people.
fire the cop who chocked eric gardener to death. save some money for the city.
how can he cry to washington for a bailout when you have cops costing the city millions in lawsuits, this 1 cop cost the city $200,000 in lawsuits. they have the perfect excuse to fire all the bad cops and save the city money now, the city has no money sorry you have to go. save on pension cost to.
“The internal investigation is recommending discipline for several members of the Department involved in the incident. Charges are expected as early as next week,” the NYPD said in a statement Friday.
Officer Francisco Garcia was suspended pending an Internal Affairs Bureau probe after he was caught on camera violently subduing a suspect in the East Village on May 2.
Cellphone video shows Garcia, who was wearing street clothes, wielding a Taser as he shouts at bystanders as other cops confronted two men for allegedly violating coronavirus social-distancing rules near East 9th Street and Avenue D.
“Move the f–k back right now!” he was recorded saying.
“What you flexing for? Don’t flex!”
Garcia then holstered the Taser and grabbed an onlooker, wrestling him down and punching him in his head before using his knee to pin the man’s neck to the sidewalk, the video shows.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office later deferred prosecution of the man — Donni Wright, 33 — on charges of assaulting a police officer, menacing and resisting arrest.
In addition to Garcia, at least two other cops are expected to face disciplinary charges over the incident, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Garcia has been sued seven times during the past six years, leading to more than $200,000 in settlements by the city, records show.[/quote]
To be honest even if we take race out of the incident. There was zero reason for the officer to put his whole body weight on another persons neck for 9 minutes while they were restrained and constantly pleading for air. That was basically hung by the neck until dead, there was just no rope and gallows.
To make it even worse, other officers stood there and allow it to happen. At east sit the person up and have them cross their legs, put them in the car, something else other than a knee putting weight on the neck until they pass out.
I can understand why people are upset, I can understand the protests but the looting and rioting that I cannot understand because all they are doing is tearing down their own communities and destroying the mom and pop shops.
This solves nothing! As long as there are bad cops this will ever stop. I still don't see why a cop with 18 incident was still allowed to have authority other other peoples lives. They should have something like a three strike rule. Get X amount of complaints that after an investigation if found valid brings termination without pension. The whole messed up thing about this is that now the good cops are painted with the image of what these bad apples do every time their is an incident like this and they have nothing to do with it.
If Minneapolis issued swift and necessary justice we wouldn't be in this predicament.
Small businesses are shuttered, the economy is bad, unemployment rate is rising, covid19 may spike due to all the protests, crime may rise, kids are home and restless. It looks like this could be a hot summer.
The Minneapolis cop/ cops involved in the death should go to jail. The NYPD has nothing to do with their incompetence. These protests throughout the country are out of control.
Everyone, everyone I have spoke to agrees the cop in Minneapolis should be charged. I am a conservative and I have both liberal and conservative friends, and they are all in agreement with this one. Its case closed. But, I am telling you, you do yourselves a disservice when you riot and destroy communities over anger. You lose millions of Americans' support when you destroy or loot.
No rights have ever been gained without violence. Think Newark/Irvington, Louisville, Charlootesville, Harlem during the blackout, Watts, Stonewall, Los Angeles (Rodney king murder), Oakland, Baltimore, Boston Tea Party, American, French and Russian revolutions. The list is endless.
Without somebody videotaping this rabid cop and his 3 complicit friends, he'd have gotten away without even a slap on his wrist. As it is he will not do a minute of jail time for premeditated murder. The four of them should face jail sentences, one for life.

Rights have also been gained through mostly peaceful means unless you're talking about over an incredibly long arc (in which case, odds are higher that at least some violence happens), and some revolutions end up having pretty terrible consequences.
I do worry that you turn out to be right, and that the officers involved in the killing are let go with a slap on the wrist. It doesn't seem possible given the very clear footage of what happened, but sometimes juries surprise you. If that did happen, then I do think we'd all be in for some pretty rough times though it'd probably still be more localized in intensity to the MSP area.
No such thing as a violent protest -when it becomes violent it is no longer a protest -it’s riot, arson and looting all criminal -when weapons are used and looting occurs it’s not a protest -we stopped having protests long ago with rev king
Violent protest is a 1984 think speak term
