A Staten Island grand jury has decided not to indict white NYPD officer Daniel Panateleo, according to NY1, who allegedly used a banned chokehold and killed Eric Garner, a 400lb black man, who was stopped on suspicion of selling loose cigarettes. Eric Garner's son has called for peace and hopes there is no Ferguson-like response...

The decision...

As RT reports,

A New York City grand jury has decided not to indict the New York Police Department officer accused of killing a Staten Island man by putting him in an illegal chokehold. The NYPD is now preparing for more protests stemming from the decision.

 

Early Wednesday afternoon, CNN, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post all reported that a grand jury declined to indict the officer.

 

Although the special grand jury declined to indict Daniel Pantaleo, the white officer accused of strangling Garner, who was black, the police department can still reprimand Pantaleo under a basic rule that loosely states if an officer does anything to embarrass the department, then they can be disciplined.

 

"It's sad if they take that position," Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, told Staten Island Live. "I'd be surprised and a bit disappointed if he was used as a political pawn to appease the community."

 

The incident occurred on July 17, when at least five New York Police Department officers took 43-year-old Eric Garner, a Staten Island father of six, to the ground in an attempted arrest on Staten Island. One put Garner in a chokehold that caused Garner – who suffered from asthma – to lose consciousness and reportedly go into cardiac arrest. He was declared dead at a nearby hospital.

 

The Staten Island District Attorney’s Office convened the grand jury in September, but did not announced the list of potential charges against Pantaleo. But prosecutors outside the district told ABC News that the range could have included second-degree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, felony assault or reckless endangerment. Legal experts and former prosecutors had said that, despite the medical examiner’s ruling the death a homicide, murder charges were unlikely, the New York Times reported.

Garner's son...

“It’s not going to be a Ferguson-like protest because I think everybody knows my father wasn’t a violent man and they’re going to respect his memory by remaining peaceful,” Snipes said. “It’s not going to be like it was there.”

Let's hope so...

Police in New York City began preparing for potential protests before the grand jury decision was announced.

 

"We, as you might expect, are planning accordingly," New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said at a news conference on Tuesday.

 

Bratton did not reveal how many officers were placed out on the streets ahead of the announcement, but he said that officers have been told to walk a fine line between allowing the protesters to express their anger while keeping public order.

 

If they engage in criminal activity, such as vandalism ? actual crime ? they will be arrested, quite simply," he said. "But we have the ability to have a level of tolerance ? breathing room, if you will."

 

There are at least two different demonstrations planned in lower Manhattan Wednesday, including appearances of Parents Against Police Brutality and protesters who say they are taking a stand against "the criminalization of our communities and militarization of the local enforcement agencies," ABC News reported.

They used to say "A good Indian is a dead Indian" and it seems now that logic applies again.

The guy was evading taxes, selling unlicensed cigarets. I do not cheer such activity.

This does mean, that the cop can finish him off?

Then let us finish off the upper 0,1%, which evades taxes in much bigger scale. And of course all cops, who cover them.

The taxes weren't paid on the cigarettes that he had bought before distributing them? 
The cigarettes were unlicensed?

Did I miss the presentation of proof of all of this?  The murder victim was part of an illegal tobacco smuggling operation? Do share these details Jano!

How does the Us produce 400lb men in New York and 300lb boys in Ferguson ?

Is this hormone treated meat or simply a move to keep Diabetes in the public eye ?

With gunshot wounds being the main cause of death of young black males, do they use armour piercing rounds to penetrate the flab ?

These big cities are starting to look like a walking dead episode.  Another epic fail by tyrant-in-chief Obama. This is exactly what Obama wants.  

We have to make Obama disappear asap before he does any more damage to the US.

In my country, loosies are sold at corner stores.  You even have a selection.  There are even packs of three if you want!

In the US, you must smoke whole pack and if you don't, they choke out the guy who is trying to help you. Soon they'll start choking out people who give a cigarette to someone that asks on the street.  

I LIKE TO BE IN AMERICA, 
PEOPLE ARE FREE IN AMERICA,

TO SELL LOOSIES IN AMERICA,

ASPHYXIATE IN AMER-RI-CAAAAA

It's been a while that, for 'americans', their 'american' nature have taken precedence over their human nature.

As a matter of facts, 'americans' are still human beings but they are first and above all 'american'.

In summary, an 'american' negro was ratted out by 'american' middle classers. Grievance: 'american' negro was a tax dodger. It is all about tax again. Then some servants to the 'american' middle class showed up and applied the sentence quick and fast.

Textbook case, one more.

The usefulness of it: despite it being so clear, 'americans' will keep peddling their propaganda, starving the beast etc

'Americans' cant part from their propaganda. They need propaganda between themselves and reality.

It takes an 'american' to keep peddling the same propaganda over and over again after cases as clear as this one.
