h, so you're saying he got what was coming to him. Poor health is justifiable license to kill for any cop and his buddies who decide to put you in a chokehold (that was previously recognized as dangerous by the NYPD and thus its use was banned) for loudly disagreeing with them? Or did I misinterpret your post?
He died because of bad health. Reports already came back that he didn't die from a choke hold. Are you suggesting resisting criminals be allowed to do what they want? because obviously wrestling a guy to the ground to get cuffs on is sometimes needed. I did it many times..so what makes me different than the so called KILLER? There was no other way to accomplish what was needed I am sure and cops can't just say "gee he looks big and scary so let let him go".
What kind of society do we want?
One where the easy criminals who surrender get arrested but the resisting one's are allowed to go? Sounds crazy right? Logically the resisting ones are the most dangerous and it is shown in their behavior.
Many criminals have been taken off the street because they were breaking a minor law and during confrontation they got violent, etc.
Transit cops arrest bank robbers all the time. You know why? The robbers think they can do what they want and they enter the subway without paying their fare. Housing cops have arrested guys who just committed rape in the stairwell because they saw a guy pissing in a bush or smoking a joint in the vicinity.
The day cops REFUSE to do their job because they are afraid of a big guy having bad health(that they had no idea of ..they aren't doctors) or whatever is a day I want to move to the suburbs.
Also don't use the BAN word. It was banned bu NYPD decades ago. I believe after that incident where a kid was choked in Queens. That being said..it isn't illegal so it doesn't make the act criminal. State troopers, FBI agents, etc can still do it I suspect. Breaking a work rule .
In reference to the execution:
This is just an excuse for animals to act like animals. You really think those fucks gave a shit about some 300 lbs guy in Staten island?
People are MAD about many things including the economy..which the gov't lies about and says it GREAT. Interesting how it is during recessions that this shit happens.
Anyway here is what MIGHT happen. I am going by the cop gossip. Understand that this WAR of words between the Mayor and PBA president is overshadowing an overdue contract. Yes that is it..always about MONEY. Don't let the politicians fool you!
But the Mayor did go over the line recently and even the governor pointed out he was wrong. The cops have gotten the secret code for a slowdown. But it is a LEGAL slowdown.
Let me explain: The dept hands out the PATROL GUIDE which is like 5k pages of rules and regulations. Most cops don't follow them completely and the leadership is thankful for that because if cops actually followed it to a word NOTHING would get done in this city.
For example: most cars are in bad condition and in violation of work rules of both the union and dept. All the assigned officers have to do is say they are NOT going to drive the car that night and that it needs to go to the shop. If that happens majority of patrol will be grounded.
Cops can also waste each tour doing 1 job..crossing their T's and dotting their I's.
Slow down arrests? NO WAY! what they will do is give NO discretion. Every arrest , no matter how BS takes almost a whole tour to complete. Imagine when a whole platoon collars up within the 1st 45 minutes of work!
They use to do that sometimes when they were pissed at a boss..imagine city wide!
And there is NOTHING the city can do about it since it isn't a violation of the Taylor law!
I almost wish I went back now just to participate. It is/was a long time coming. When cops went on strike in the 70's things improved afterwards.
Worst case scenario ..national guard gets called in. You think they would treat Eric Gardner better? he he he... they are trained to shoot and that is it.
Oh and if Cops go on strike (or slowdown), possible firefighters will SLOWDOWN. Why? because firemen often get attacked in the bad areas and depend on police to be present during emergencies.
It gets worst..city EMS (FDNY) will also have to slow down because they also depend on police showing up to aided cases.
The ripple effect can be felt!
Again every union I mention is in a contract war with the Mayor. So trust me when I say that there is economics behind all this shit!
Ironically the teachers SOLD out (they tend to do so) but they also will avoid showing up to work when the ghetto has no patrol or emergency response.
MTA trains might slow down because in the 1970's they had their own police force..Transit cops. The cops merged into the NYPD. So I don't see how safe they will feel if cops empty out of the tunnels.
Hre's the slowdown order:

I should also note that Corrections actually did a slowdown years ago and basically fucked up the whole city justice system. The officers all put the buses out of order and thousands of defendant's couldn't get to court.
No one fucks with them. Even Bloomberg was afraid of the union president( he visited the deputy mayors home with 2 guns strapped to him once in a prison uniform).
I am glad Pat Lynch grew a pair of balls.
