The source for that, such as it is, is a conservative anti-tax organization, which in turn cites a study put out by a think tank partly funded by the tobacco industry. Apparently there's a lot of estimation, and very little actual research.
Yet again: Blaming this outcome on cigarette taxes is absurd.
Are choke holds allowed? Because they're banned by the NYPD.
It's disgusting that conservatives are trying to blame this on, of all things, cigarette taxes.
He said it around 11 times. And yes...he was still breathing. However...a heart attack would feel pretty similar.
Kobie, there are countless videos of speeches and press releases on both that imply white racism . But the latest action on behalf of the President is what he did after de Blasio threw his police department under the bus, implying they were racist and untrustworthy. Obama called and commended him for his words.
What did you read, the first paragraph? You would have to know what di Blasio stated in his speech that outraged police officers and their union leaders who felt betrayed to see the significance in Obama's words.

Let the video speak for itself and the scenario speak for itself.
I just gave you an example how Obama is making this case about racism. As did di Blasio in his speech. As has Al Sharpton who continues to do whether at rallies/protests, on his TV show or radio broadcast. And you need no further proof than Holder's comments on ordering a federal investigation into the Grand Jury Holder needs to make it about racism for a federal investigation..... there has to be a violation of civil rights, which implies that this was a racial incident. Now count all the federal investigations into law enforcement that Holder has ordered over the years and show me all his findings that there is this huge race problem of blacks being treated unfairly.
It certainly becomes a factor when a white cop kills a black man. Geesh
