So what's the state of the civil lawsuit? He may not end up in jail, but that doesn't mean he should be allowed to keep any of his property, salary or retirement benefits.
Don't listen to the cop-roaches infesting social media who say that this is a result of Eric Garner "disobeying" a cop* and resisting arrest. I'm bi....lingual and thetefore can interpret the salty language of the Cracker. What they really mean is Garnet's actual unforgivable crime is not being deferential enough to white people and "disrespecting" them. This is, of course, serious enough to murder black people (aka "doing their job" as some cop-roaches put it. Wink wink nudge nudge.) Because in Cracker-ese what we archaically refer to as "officers of the law**" are actually "mob enforcers" (why they even offer "protection"!)
*by not choking to death in a quieter, more civilized manner**hahaha. Look at me me being silly, acting like "law enforcement" had anything to do with "law." As if!
Also the guy who taped the whole thing is still in jail...which is odd because (according to insistent trolls), the cops didn't do "anything wrong" so you'd think everyone would be more that happy to have "evidence" of them doing "nothing untoward."
Sone people are so lucky being morally insincere isn't a crime...at one that isn't as big as Being Black in America.
It's called "Assault under color of authority" and is used about as often as the law in Cali forbidding persons to ride a mule backwards on the 4th of July
By the way, I bet the Venn Diagram for wyte folk who think the cops did nothing wrong and that "he shoulda cooperated" and those who would put on their most belligerent "I'm-going-to-go-talk-to-the-manager" 'tudes at a cop who gave them a parking ticket would have significant overlap.
That's because so many cops are ex-military. They've been trained as soldiers, and their training teaches them to rely on force escalation to solve situations. Cops on the other hand, need to de escalate in most situations. Generally speaking.
We're taught that use of force can only be used to:
1. overcome the subject's resistance2. neutralize their ability to harm3. accomplish the arrest
Selling loosies is a non-violent misdemeanor. If the cops were professional and smart, they would have took the guy aside and told him to relocate. 99 times out of a hundred people will do the right thing if you give them a chance to do it and keep their dignity
Cigarettes kill, so technically he was murdering people for hire by selling cigarettes. /s

Barr is in contempt now, yes?
Are you hoping for a stroke?
Kamala is a bad ass cop
King was wrong, though. There *is no* moral arc of or to the universe.

The badge is a handy stool to stand upon.

That's not counting "perks", often delivered in envelopes

You have to be tough to deal with criminals. You don't have to be a thug, but it's an easy slide for many cops
