    Meanwhile a white lady popped a cap around some cops and they made sure the took her into custody and got her some help.

    DiBlasio postponed a trip to Italy over this. A head or two will roll.

    Good riddance to bad bacon.

    Meanwhile in California a CHP cop punched out a woman for no reason and got caught on tape. He still hasn't been identified - he's being called Officer Puncharello - and the cover-up seems to be underway.

    America has a bad bacon problem. It's time to address it.

    Like I said, there are cracker ass crackers everywhere in the country. And a lot of them seem to end up on grand juries.

    It won't carry over, but even some right-wingers are saying this decision is nuts. Napolitano on Fox, even Krauthammer. Even a blind pig finds an occasional acorn.

    Infuriating, sure, but highly believable. Time for the DOJ to come down hard.

    structural discrimination-racism is such a powerful reality for so many people, but it's a really hard concept to articulate and teach to those who don't experience it. surprisingly, krauthammer's comments end up explaining it in as clear terms as i've heard. i have to hand it to him.

    Don't. He understands the concept but also approves of the practice.

    i agree. i've seen him debate, and he's shameless on some issues. but i don't care about that here. all i care about is more non-black people getting the point.

    That's ridiculous. I challenge you to make that point.

    Oh, right, Brian lives in New York now.

    "At 10 p.m., hundreds of protesters took over the main terminal of Grand Central Station. The group chanted, “What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!” Diners sipped champagne in one of the terminal’s restaurants, and one of them appeared to flip off the protesters. "

    pretty incredible that you use this tragedy to take potshots at me but i guess it's expected that you would use any excuse to spew your hatred.

    A guy died of a heart attack whilst resisting arrest. Unless it can be proved the officer who had him in a "choke hold"(which is apparently how we are referring to headlocks now) is a practitioner of hokuto shin ken and pressed a pressure point to initiate the heart attack then the lack of indictment is a perfectly understandable scenario.

    I don't say its the right decision. A case can certainly be made that the cop is guilty is of criminal negligence. But the steadfast refusal of you morons to engage with the particularities of an incident in any real way is not only annoying but damaging to your own cause.

    The Darren Wilson/Michael Brown case was much higher profile than this one (presumably because the leftist media were excited about the notion that it was an execution whereas in the garner case its clear that the cop is not trying to kill him). Much more people know the details of that case and knowing the details most know that the decision not to indict was just. Having looked at the evidence its abundantly clear that no court would ever convict Wilson. Now, when you idiots choose to draw parallels between the garner and brown cases, when you say garner is another brown, what you are telling most people is that this is another case of the justice system has done a sterling job. You, afterall, are the very same goose necked hippies who were going around telling everyone that Wilson should be convicted for murder when anyone with a brain could see that evidence wouldn't even justify a trial let alone a conviction.

    Police protect status quo and serve the privileged. Since slavery, since Jim crow, since cointelpro, since income inequality, since the biggest prison population in world history, since military intervention in every corner of the globe

    Do you guys see a pattern here? If you make a bad decision and physically resist arrest you may be injured it killed.

    Abide the law and all will be fine.

    this seems like a pretty naive interpretation of events.

    The medical examiner called it a homicide, Hannity. Go fuck yourself.

    So is this a white cop problem? Or all cop problem?
    Are black cops enraged by the poor field performance of their white colleagues?

    Well they don't seem to be trying hard enough to balance the statistics, that's for sure.
