Re: NYPD officer in Eric Garner chokehold death not indicted by Staten Island grand j
That's not what I asked you. I asked you to show us where he said cops were there to harass black people.
Ummmm... he said black men didn't trust the police. That is a fact. However, it doesn't show he said cops are there to harass black people.
Ummm... yes, that's a fact.
It seems you can't show us where he said cops are there to harass black men. Instead, he described why it is minorities don't trust law enforcement and is due to the fact that there are demonstrable disparities in the treatment of racial groups when it comes to law enforcement and treatment by the law. That's not the same as saying cops are there to harass black people. That's your claim about what he said and so far you haven't substantiated it yet.
Do a YouTube search. He stirs the racist pot quite often.

Here a couple of his latest comments speaking to the NAACP.
“In too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement,” adding “Guilty of walking while black or driving while black; judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness.”
Ummmm... he said black men didn't trust the police. That is a fact. However, it doesn't show he said cops are there to harass black people.
“We know that statistically, in everything from enforcing drug policy to applying the death penalty to pulling people over there are significant racial disparities, that’s just the statistics.”
Ummm... yes, that's a fact.
