| NYPD Not Exactly Happy With de Blasio: “What a f- -king idiot. I listened for about two minutes, |
| 2014-12-06 |
 De Blasio had called the Garner case "profoundly personal for me," saying that because of "the dangers [Dante] may face, we’ve had to literally train him . . . in how to take special care in any encounter he has with the police officers who are there to protect him."The comments angered cops, with one saying, "Did he tell his son to be wary of his police bodyguards, that he should be afraid of them as they pick him up at school and drive him where he needs to go?" |

| #14 Too bad they feel the need to submit everyone they don't like. Why not just hand him the equivalent of a traffic ticket and let him cool down before he shows up at court? |

| #13 He died for breaking the law on taxing tobacco. Has De Blaiso et al quickly moved to quit this big tax enforcement? No? Ah, Pontius Pilate routine washing his hands of the matter while still shearing the sheep right down to the skin to fund their operations (see-power). |

| #12 re: #8 Steve, you left off Democrat. re: #5 OS, I agree but hasn't the Supreme Court said that there IS no duty to protect? As far as I remember the police are solely an "after the fact" clean up squad. re. # 10 Saw a write up the other day which put it that all criminal laws should be considered as capital offences since any resistance can lead to death. Brown, in Ferguson, asked for it by attacking the cop and going for his weapon. Garner didn't and didn't deserve the violence which led directly to his death. The current training of police seems to be of the shoot first ask questions later variety. Examine all of the unwarranted SWAT team responses, the immediate screaming orders to get on the ground backed up by drawn weapons, shooting at shadows like kids with a toy gun. I think you have to agree that the laws and their enforcement are seriously out of whack and it's going to be addressed one way or another. The problem with the "Always do what a cop says" line is that cops are not God and should be required to have and explain good reasons for every order they issue. Willy nilly throwing every two bit misdemeanor suspect on the ground is the tactics of the Brown Shirts and not appropriate for an ordered and free society. Sure there are exceptions where more force is necessary but those times are few and far between and should NOT be the default setting that they seem to be today. |

| #10 What were they supposed to do? Let him walk? Let him keep selling cigarettes to kids? The guy was morbidly obese and had a foot in the grave before he resisted arrest. But the cops didn't know that. What they saw was a guy who stood head and shoulders above them and that it was gonna be tough to bring him down. There is only one thing De Blasio needs to tell his kid about the cops: Do not resist arrest. |

| #9 Got to agree with the cops. NY elected him much like Obumble was elected. Ended up with a bad deal. |

| #8 Cops were wrong on this one. Choke hold was banned. Black woman police sergeant stood by and let her charges choke the guy. Rather than choke the guy, talk him down and then bring him in. Also illustrates the stupidity of these small laws. Selling a loosie gets you a chokehold? Well yes it does; when the law is on the books count on a cop at some point to enforce it. DeBlasio is a jerk, an idiot, a communist and a tool -- but I repeat myself repeatedly... |

| #7 Cops can be myrmidons, but it is not about race OS, as de Blasio implied |

| #6 Interesting to note how many of these cop related deaths involve some form of.... RESISTING ARREST ! |

| #5 I dont like DeBlasio, but the cops are dead wrong about the Garner case - they sat there and watched the guy in their custody, laying on the ground, go into respiratory distress then cardiac distress, AND DID NOTHING. The lot of them should be thrown off the force and put into jail, as well as civilly liable for their pensions and property. EMTs too. Police and EMTs, trained first responders, have a positive duty - that is they legally MUST respond - to provide medical aid to those in their custody. These cops are a fucking disgrace, as are the idiots defending them. As for the cops cited? Fuck you - I've seen too many police acting like Gestapo to trust any that I do not know personally. |

| #2 So the cops should stop protecting him. Seems only fair if the little fucking snowflake is scared of the big, bad men. He can be on his own. |
