Death was the consequence... And exactly who are you to determine what the risk to the cop was?
It's really easy to sit on the sidelines and judge, however, the GJ have determined otherwise
That's right, he's still dead and that death is still a consequence of multiple poor decisions.
.. That brings us right back to the original point I am trying to make... Responsibility in this is shared between multiple parties
including Garner himself
.. As were Garner's actions in breaking a silly law in addition to resisting arrest
I am the boss... And when I fukk up, it costs me directly... I am solely responsible and bear the consequences fully
So what?.. Really?
Garner made multiple bad decisions (read: illegal) and your only observation is that he was victimized?
Get over it already... Had Garner's decisions been different, this never would have happened.
Like DaS mentioned, it's like punishing a truck driver for me swerving into a head-on collision with the truck
the cop made a bad decision, it resulted in the death of another human being...
True... And the cop is still not the only party that made a bad decision. The cop reacted to the actions of Garner
Don't fret, between the Internal Affairs of the police dept, the Grand Jury, the State of NY and the Federal Government, they will railroad the cop despite the absolution from the very body (GJ) that was set up as the stop-gap on this.
So I guess what it all boils down to is those of us who have made multiple mistakes in our life should all be dead by rights!
