As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following captioned photo here, being shared by the page, “Cop Block,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
NYPD Is Outta Control. Standing in solidarity with the other NYPD Officers videotaped in recent days choking their victims. This poor excuse for a human was photographed choking a woman who was 7 months pregnant. If this was any member of the public, this would be attempted murder. [Jacob/ We Copwatch]
My Commentary: But, without government, who would “protect” society from a pregnant woman “illegal[ly] grilling” with her family on the sidewalk in front of her home, without so much as a single complaint from neighbors, and with the sidewalk not even being obstructed?

“Exerpts from Eric Garner Report: …Mr. Garner resisted arrest, refusing to obey directions and strugging with P.O. Justin Damico and P.O. Daniel Pantaleo as they attempted to place him in handcuffs… …P.O. Mark Ramos and P.O. Craig Furlani responded to the scene and helped handcuff Mr. Garner… …During this time Mr. Garner became unresponsive, though he was observed to be breathing, according to the report… …Mr. Garner went into cardiac arrest when he was placed on the stretcher by EMTs Stephanie Greenberg and Nicole Palmeri… …Sgt. Dhanan Saminath stated that on the scene ‘the perpetrator did not appear to be in great distress.’ … Sgt. Kizzy Adonis said ‘the perpetrator’s condition did not seem serious and that he did not appear to get worse.’ “

Rayn:
“This gentle giant had just broken up a fight when he was approached by officers accusing him of selling untaxed cigarettes. Even though he had harmed no one & didn’t resist, 7 officers jumped on top of him and strangled him to death. Like if you agree it’s time to seriously consider if we would be safer without police.”
Brian J.: Who’s watching the watchmen?
Rayn: Shatan watches while he strokes his thorny cock. 🙂
Brian J.: Shatan?
Rayn: The Accuser.
Brian J.: Oh okay.
Sara: I’m sick over this :'(
Thomas Pa.: Arrest happy, every police force is arrest happy. A simple summons would have accomplished the same objective, they wouldn’t have needed to touch anybody.
Sara: There’s definitely a lot worse out there but for some reason this really angers me. This dude was doing nothing wrong. They were provoking him by not letting him leave even after he showed his bus ticket and ID. It’s like they were waiting for him to get upset. He asked them repeatedly to take their hands off of him. They didn’t. Then when all the other pigs jumped in, it was over. The emotion in his voice was gut-wrenching. He didn’t deserve that shit.
Justin W.: Yeah I have seen a ton of these videos on YouTube each one makes me sad things are changing rapidly 😐
Sara: smh
Rayn: These pigs escalated an otherwise peaceful situation into violence, solely to legitimize the making of an arrest. Pure criminality on display, here. Statists gonna state…
Stacie T.: I just posted something the other day about officers in Rialto being required to wear video cameras and how it dropped the rate of force and complaints drastically. From this, I’d say it wouldn’t even work here. They know they are being video taped and they obviously don’t give a shit. They’re not even trying to violate the right to videotape their interactions with citizens. They are just going about their their shady business without the slightest concern that there is evidence of excessive force being used against this man. Sickening display of blatant abuse of power.
Lisa M.: why did they start with him?
Sara: NYPD assumed he didn’t pay his bus fare but he had the ticket and receipt on him and showed it to them right away but they continued to harass and attack him.
