The biggest nonsense about the Obama daughters criticism scandal is that anyone cares about the dignity of a turkey pardoning ceremony.
If you want to show dignity for the office of the president, don’t pardon turkeys in big ceremonies.
So basically NYC cops can choke you to death over 75 cents?
If Bloomberg got his way, people would also be strangled to death over selling large sodas.
Body cameras on police officers will allow us to get even more righteously angry when cops aren’t indicted.
Another reminder that before you propose a law, ask if you’re willing to kill someone over this. Because that happens. #EricGarner
Obama: “Let this be a lesson: Pay your Obamacare tax or I’ll have police strangle you.”
Man, I really hope Turd Ferguson doesn’t make a mess of the NY cop thing because I haven’t thought of a clever name for that yet.
Uhmm, if you can’t breathe, how can you talk?
Has anyone looked into financing the body cams by selling more footage to the TV show “COPS”?
CCO,
If you can breathe, how can you die being choked?
Hmm…good point (but he was talking, right?)
“So basically NYC cops can choke you to death over 75 cents?”
No – but the death penalty in NYC for selling cigarettes wouldn’t surprise me a bit.
You can’t strangle someone who is selling large sodas. Their necks are too big.
“The heavyset father of six, who had asthma, was heard repeatedly gasping, “I can’t breathe!” He later died at a hospital.” (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/eric-garner-chokehold-case-grand-jury-decision-prosecutors-charging-police/). Asthma attack?
It would be a lot easier to be outraged if every story didn’t start out with: Black man choked by white cop…etc as if that’s the only reason it’s bad. Then again, if it was a fat white guy killed by a cop of any color, I doubt most people would give a f&^k. I”m sure it’s happened many many times and yet, I don’t remember any cities being burned down over it.
I bet if cigarettes weren’t like..$15 a pack in NY, he wouldn’t have been selling them in the first place.
The store I go to every day (run by Vietnamese people <<<<see? I'm not raaaacist) sell single cigarettes, if I ever go in and find them dead, I'll know why.
