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~

Listening to him talk on his video, I get the impression that he isn't the biggest fan of the cops in the first place. I would wager if you asked him before the video if cops ever "harassed" him, the answer would still be yes.

Apparently, he's not the only one. His wife also got arrested for allegedly slapping somebody at a grocery store....
 
Gotta love New York. I'm sure selling cigarettes there would be a capital offense. I think this is a good example of the pitfalls of a nanny state, a way over reaction to something so minor as selling smokes.

Heya CM. :2wave: Yeah he don't strike me as the type that he would listen to his teachers either. Which if the youth of America has no civility with Teachers and the Police, or respect.....then where does that lead with our future. As then it will be the same for any Authority figures.

Although, he does have his mother reporting to a separate news source. Which I wouldn't doubt the NYPD is keeping a watch on him.
 
The system up there is just ****ed up.

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.

His wife is getting it too. She got arrested for allegedly slapping somebody at a grocery store... People who make the NYPD look bad don't last long.
 
This guy is an idiot.

NYPD chokehold videographer: cops

He has priors involving weapons, was in a known drug area, and had a weapon on him which he then gave to a minor in hopes that the cops wouldn't find it on him. If he thought the cops were following him and harassing him and he still had a gun on him, then I feel no pity for him.

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.

Heya HB. :2wave: After seeing the Cop mash Garners face into the ground with Both hands while on his back.....I thought they would hook the cop up for excessive force. But I think the jury all went with.....that Garner knew why the cops was there and he resisted. From there the GJ only looked at murder and manslaughter charges that would apply. Something deliberate by the Cop.

Well until the cops have cameras on them.....then they just can't let laws keep being broken and having it on film.

Well maybe she just put her hand up as in.....talk to the hand, and the other persons face walked into it.

Agreed.

If the subjects don't lock their heels and bow their head before our authority figures, where will the authoritarian state be then?

Sieg heil!!!

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?
 
Don't cross that blue line.

It is the responsibility of the citizens to hold our officers accountable. We do pay their pension, after all.

Yeah. I've never seen a cord accidentally come unplugged or a battery accidentally run out of juice. Where there's a will there's a way, my friend!

Over f'n cigarettes? Yeah, bud, a 40 year old cigarette hustler isn't going to suddenly start shooting people and get into gang wars. Take it from somebody who actually grew up in an city and knows a thing or two about drugs. Besides, what the **** kind of gang members start a gang war over nickels and dimes? The 1940s Ace of Spade Boys?

I think many conservatives feel conflicted here, criticize our "wonderful" officers in blue who enforce nanny state policies... or attack the minority rabble rousers who disobey these laws?

Cmon now, we aint talking Chicago Detectives. :lol:

The prosecutor has to work with the NYPD, and Grand Juries generally do what the prosecutor wants. He didn't want the personal political repercussions, so he made it so the Feds had to prosecute, and not him.
