Man Who Filmed Cop Choking Eric Garner Was Indicted (Video).....

Or it could be the case of an attention seeking criminal getting the attention. Funny how that sort of behavior doesn't always work out the way you'd thought it would. :mrgreen:
The police can find something illegal that any person is doing if they look hard enough. All you need is some butt hurt given to you by some guy with a camera

Yeah, but this is hardly a trumped up charge, nor an inflation of a minor one. This moron, and I call him that because I've read his speech, is a long term felon. He's not some innocent facing inflated revenge charges.

And his wife who supposedly slapped someone? That one fails Occam's razor
 
So you think it's coincidence that a person who took a video of the NYPD choking a man - would get arrested soon after? You also think it's coincidental that his wife was arrested after?
Did the police set up the wife to slap somebody or did she actually slap somebody?
 
I don't know. There's no doubt the police were following him. This is really starting to smell foul in any case. I still don't understand why there wasn't an indictment in the death of Garner. It would be interesting to hear the instructions given to the Grand Jury. And now there's this. The fire arms charge puts this Orta in jail for a few years. Why were the police following him? It doesn't look good, but maybe there's a perfectly valid explanation. I'd like to hear it.

I posted repeatedly that the GJ there indicted all but 3 out of over 250,000 cases brought before it in a 5 year period.
 
Selling loosies, tagging, rolling bones in the alley, etc. It's all small stuff. Nobody should hassle with it.

Except that it never ends there.

One day someone gets pissed someone moved in on "their" territory and throws a punch. The "victim" comes back with a motorcycle chain. Next thing you know there's a gun, sad as it seems, little Suzy who was just playing on her doorstep gets an "accidental" bullet in her head.

You can't just let "the small stuff" go. All that does is set a precedent for bigger stuff.
Let's just nuke NY and move on. :lol: They can start with a clean slate after.
 
This doesn't look good for the NYPD huh? What do you think about this guy who took the video of Garner? Is he telling stories or the truth?



Ramsey Orta, the man who filmed New York City Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo applying a fatal chokehold to Eric Garner on July 17, was indicted by a grand jury in Staten Island, New York.

According to the Staten Island Advance, Orta was indicted on weapons charges after an arrest on Aug. 2 in the St. George neighborhood of Staten Island. "They lying on me, they doing me wrong," said Orta after he pleaded not guilty in August, noted the New York Daily News. "I've been harassed by the police since this whole video." Orta's mother told CBS New York that police had been following her son ever since he filmed Garner's death (video below).....snip~

Man Who Filmed Cop Choking Eric Garner Was Indicted (Video)


Kudos to you on a now long series of interesting and provocative threads, M.
Well done.
 
Well until the cops have cameras on them.....then they just can't let laws keep being broken and having it on film.

This event was on video too. He still got off. I think it's going to take more than video.
 
The NYPD claimed that Orta and Alba Lekaj entered a Staten Island hotel that is "a known drug-prone location."Moments later, Orta and Lekaj walked out of the hotel and were approached by police.
"Officers, in plain clothes with their shields displayed, approached the two individuals to question them when they observed [Orta] slip an object into the waistband of [Lekaj]," the NYPD said in court papers.
"Officers immediately took control of the two and observed, in plain sight, a gun in the waistband of [Lekaj]. The two were placed under arrest and an unloaded .25 caliber Norton handgun was recovered," added the NYPD.
"When they searched me, they didn't find nothing on me," Orta told the Staten Island Advance in August. "And the same cop that searched me, he told me clearly himself that karma's a bitch, what goes around comes around. I had nothing to do with this. I would be stupid to walk around with a gun after me being in the spotlight."


Name a hotel in all of greater NYC that isn't a "drug-prone location?" :lol:

I would think the police could make up a better story than that. But to be on the safe side they picked the smallest possible firepower caliber - and unloaded - to see in plain view - seen handed off to someone else - because everyone who illegally carries a gun in NYC carries unloaded guns.

I bet they are extra nice to him in city jail.

Throughout history, don't mess with the NYPD. No matter the facts, you lose. Bad.

I always smile when I hear NYC called the "bastille of liberalism." It is the bastille of rich white democrats and is the most socially and economics stratified major city in the USA for which "liberalism" means an iron boot on the populous. It also is one of the most racist cities.
 
I bet there is no video of him handing off the unloaded .25 to someone else.

The complaint being ridiculous and totally 100% resting on what the police say is to deliberately make their point to EVERYONE in NYC. They can arrest anyone any time they want to just because they want to entirely on only what they say happened.

At least they gave him a break. They could have instead seen him hand off a quarter pound of heroin along with that gun, and it could have been a stolen gun used in an armed robbery in which someone was shot by someone and anonymous tipster said exactly matched his description.

The power of what the NYPD did to him deliberately is for people to totally believe it a setup. "Fear the police." That is the lesson.

What is a ..... "ham sandwich".... lol
 
Talk about stupid. When you are stalking undercover cops who are enforcing liberals anti smoking cigarette tax laws, don't pack a .25 ACP pocket pistol in your waistband. The pistol was manufactured for being carried in your pocket.

BTW: It was New York progressive liberal cigarette taxes that killed Garner.

Weighing 400 pounds didn't help matters.
 
I normally think conspiracy theories are dumb...but this one might have some truth to it.

You think maybe, just maybe, this isn't one to convict someone singularly on what police say?

Those GJ members should be plenty glad they didn't vote to indict.

The arrest clearly so questionable and solely on the police's say was to send a very clear warning to everyone.

The young lady he was arrested with also said he passed the gun off on her. So it is not just the polices word. Oh, and looky, they were in a drug prone location and she had drugs on her. Totally suspicious.

I think they'll literally have to film a cop shooting a 13 year old kid and then sprinkling crack on them.

Supposedly the girl he was with was the daughter of the cop who came to arrest him. Seems convenient.
 
I did. But the article also stated that no one matching her last name worked for the police department.

Nobody said she was working for the police department. What was said is that the person who was with him at the time was the daughter of a police officer. The article you posted says that.

She is 17. Her father would have the same last name as her. No one with her last name works for the police department. what's not to get.

Your article also states her father is a cop from Connecticut. Did you read your article before you posted it?
