Protests in support of Eric Garner erupt in New York and elsewhere - The Washington Post
It seems that black protests are covering the whole country. We see how every negative gesture towards the minority of color will exacerbate this conflict. While plans of our administration are not clear protesters are flooding the streets of the largest city in the country. Will Obama send his militarized police forces with newly bought body-cameras to the "Big Apple". It is worth to shoot a new blockbuster.

Re: "Michael Brown's virus" has already infected the NY city.

Well, in regards to Eric Garner, it seems like their PROTESTING (so long as it is protesting) is justified.

Michale Brown on the other hand was a moron who deserved to die for doing what he did. Any subsequent protesting/rioting was hardly justifiable.
 
Re: "Michael Brown's virus" has already infected the NY city.

I really like the NYC Mayor telling people "Anyone who believes in the values of this country should feel called to action right now. We are dealing with centuries of racism that has brought us to this day. That is how fundamental the crisis is."

He clearly doesn't understand that he just told people to protest against himself.
 
Re: "Michael Brown's virus" has already infected the NY city.

The Eric Garner case is far more clear cut and evident than that of the Michael Brown case and it's a travesty they didn't even bring the officer in for court. Unless Garner was being arrested, police should not be placing their hands on anybody let alone choke them out. The Officers involved should have been held accountable for what he had done. Especially more so that the entire incident was recorded and shared through the internet.

It's a political maneuver called "Getting out ahead" but that is really an aside, what happened in the incident is between the Police and the Justice system. Although I suppose if the Mayor is being honest his words would have more sway in reforming the system than others.

Not really. The Mayor may be the employer of these "racists" but rest assured that he won't be paying for their acts or even held accountable to fire them (many officers were involved in that selling "loose" cigarettes arrest). Watch who gets to pay the "victims" families gobs of cash in civil suits. This does not cost the government employees involved, or their unions, one extra dime but it does cost all of the NYC taxpayers to pay families of criminals that were "mistreated" by the Mayor's employees.

When you let a problem fester, the repercussions grow. We have been working on the issues of race and discrimination for decades and have obviously not accomplished enough. And sure, it is mostly a problem of the minority that does not take advantage of opportunity, it is certainly also a problem of our own. We are squandering huge resources of human capital and really cannot afford it. The fact that we are seeing revolt should drive that home to even the most xenophobic of us.

DeBlasio will turn back NYC into the ghetto it was 20 years ago.
 
Re: "Michael Brown's virus" has already infected the NY city.

These protests/riots will go nowhere good for one reason: exploitation. Leftist groups (anarchists, communists, socialists, anti-capitalists, progressives) are exploiting the race card in order to bring about their type of change or revolution. The actual plight of Americans of color has no real meaning to them, it is just a tool and nothing more to reach a ends. The less radicals involved will deny that the radicals exists or at least try to convince us that those black blocs are just agitators ignore them. They'll go on and on about race inequalities and how awful America is for it. They are a bunch of haters themselves, they hate Americans and they hate capitalism above anything else. And this is just a opportunity (for leftists) to push blame on capitalism.

The point of their radicalism is to end the plight of people of color. Like that is at least in part their motivation behind being a radical be it a socialist, communist, etc
 
Re: "Michael Brown's virus" has already infected the NY city.

After watching the video, I don't see anything wrong with what the officers did. Suspect was resisting arrest. They attempted to use non-lethal means to subdue the suspect and bring about the arrest. The correct response from the suspect should of been to simply let them cuff him, take him in and face the findings of a court. In this case, as in many others, if the suspect would of simply cooperated, the incident could of been avoided.

Regardless of race, etc, the time to argue with a police office is in the court room, not on the street.

Conclusion, another dead dumbass who brought it upon himself.

Ok so the officer was too dumb to realize that the chokehold was against policy? Such faith you have in our police forces.

The majority of the protesters just happen to be radical leftists. Their point is to exploit the notion of racism in order to pimp their radical movement. Which is pushing a radical leftist system onto Americans. Even though I am very against racism in any shape or form, I am well aware that the idea is to create a revolution.

It is a travesty the radical leftist have completely ruined any chance of good dialog coming out Fergason. The leftist only want to lay blame on our government. Anything to make capitalism look bad.

No, that is false every time it is posted. He was not under arrest, nor told he was under arrest, nor were they arresting him.

Why don't you post he pulled a gun on the police too?

There can't be a "good dialogue" to come out of Ferguson

Radicals see the police as enforcers of capitalism and they aren't exactly wrong seeing as law enforcement has a history of actively suppressing labor movements

Uh, promoting capitalism and suppressing socialist/communist oppression is what a good society does.

Nor from what I've seen, on COPS anyway, do they always do so until they have control of an agitated, hostile and aggressive suspect. Further, you nor I, know what was actually said before the video begins. It is very clear however that he is already arguing with the officers about the nature of the offense for which they were either arresting him or questioning him (we don't know which, since the person shooting the video didn't catch that part or it wasn't made public).

Have you thought about the situation from the point of view of the cops involved, taking into account what they would know at the time? If so many are upset at what the police do, how many of them attempt to join the police? How many of them are willing or able to do what cops do everyday? Is it possible that some people are expecting superhuman perfection from humans doing a tough and dangerous job?

They should maybe cut out the looting..to prevent this protest from becoming a farce..

Only a right-wing nut job would see it your way, I'm not surprised. Garner was killed by this policemen, and they should be held accountable.

Just what about it was his statement that made you think he was a "right-wing nut job"? Was it him simply inquiring to take the view of the cops perspective? Have we really gone so far as a society that it's "right-wing" to wonder or even care what the police side of the story is?

Wake up! Haven't you read any of DVSentinel's postings before? They are dripping with right-wing BS.

BS. Garner was a physical wreck and a walking time bomb. Cops don't have access to a medical summary of an individual's physical condition on a moments notice. I would agree that the take down was a little harsh, but a human of Garner's size in reasonable physical condition would have been just fine, although perhaps sore and bruised. What killed Garner was years of physical abuse and neglect. Nobody knew at the time that such an incident would trigger his demise. Had that been known in advance, I'm pretty certain both Garner and the cops would've done things differently. And just because the grand jury wouldn't indict does not mean the cops won't be held accountable. They will be. Just not in the venue you prefer.

That's what's likely to happen, just not in the venue you prefer.
