LOL Shuylarr you are so fun sometimes. I like how you say they find cops guilty all the time and give them the boot. Is that what guilty cops get today, a boot from the job? They don't get sent to prison or pay a fine or anything? No, because they actually weren't found guilty of shit, the department let them go before that happened.like death?
+rep again, nice!
i gotta call bullshit on some of this, farm boy.
garner had a medical condition because of which he succumb to by a man who used known deadly techniques, that can EASILY cause a healthy persons death, was illegal.."known" that's key here..the choke illegal..what happened "to protect and serve"? murder 2 qualifies.
verbally resisting? married to a cop i've never heard of that term EVER and i think if i called him to ask, he would laugh me off the phone.
you can and they do find cops guilty, i can remember several getting the boot for shit they did.
it comes down to the PD and who runs it.
That choke hold doesn't EASILY kill people either, you watch far too much television and WWF. If some dumb ass applies it way too hard and crushes the larynx of the victim , well then its deadly, but that did not happen in this case.
Verbally resisting arrest isn't against the law, but piss the cop off enough with your mouth and it will be changed to physically resisting, your word against his and his buddies. who you think will get the shaft?
Also stop saying the choke hold is illegal it isn't. Illegal means there is a law specifically barring something , and there is no law in the US that says cops can't use a choke hold to subdue a combatant.
Perhaps nest time they will just subdue him by emptying the magazine of their pistols, then you will cry about how they should have used a less deadly technique to take down a combatant.
