[MrPrena]

I hope this will not bring another excuse for those scum bags to cause another riot/looting.

Don't worry, it will, never let a crisis go to waste.

I'm sure hadji/holder already have a plan for their pals to do some "shopping" as Saks.

Riots in Ferguson is one thing... but downtown New York? Holy crap that could get really ugly.

I think Judge Napolitano is spot on:

“This is a national moment of grief,” said de Blasio, “and a national moment of frustration.”

Mayor de Blasio said that though many honor the tradition that police exist to protect, he acknowledged that “for so many of our young people there is a fear and for so many of our families there is a fear.”

While not directly commenting on the case,(Then shut the fuck up) Obama said the decision speaks to "the concern on the part of too many minority communities that law enforcement is not working with them and dealing with them in a fair way."

Disagree. Even though he qualifies his statements by saying he hasn't seen all the evidence that's exactly why he, of all people, should trust the grand jury system. How can a judge say, with a straight face, a person should be indicted for a crime when he hasn't seen the evidence. That's like the judge saying, "We don't need to go to trial and listen to all the witness testimony and review the physical evidence. I've seen the video. Guilty."

I was wondering why the forum has been quiet on this one. I don't know man. Looks kinda bad for the cops here, based on the video I saw. But not in a racial way. If there's more to see/know I'd like to see it.

Nope, not cop bashing. Just looks bad.

Now should he face some pretty severe departmental action for using an unauthorized choking procedure? I'm gonna say yes. The evidence in the video is pretty clear. Especially since it was a relatively minor crime and even though the guy was resisting a bit choke holds are a thing of the past. We were warned against using them when I went through the academy in the late 80s.

Civil suit to follow. The officer/city will likely lose big unless there's an out of court settlement.
