Protesting isn't my thing. I'd rather have a conversation. What is there to discuss? There's video of a cop choking a person to death and won't even get a trial. Go burn down the Rockafeller tree with your fellow New Yorkers. Wait, I'm confused. Do you want her to protest or to burn something down? Also, you do realize that Knerys wasn't the one to choke someone out and kill them. You're coming across awfully hostile towards Knerys for no good reason. Maybe if property destruction is so important to you you can do it yourself and pretend like you're making a point in the process.

Mostly. Well... I do think it's stupid that a video is apparently not evidence. Keep that in mind next time you're roaming around shady neighborhoods.

He's not totally wrong. A lot of bystander videos that get put online (I'm looking at you, World Star Hip Hop) only start recording after something crazy has happened, so instead of getting the full incident you get the aftermath.
That being said, I think I'd rather have SOME video of an incident than nothing and needing to rely on witness testimony.

An unarmed person got choked to death. How is this even a debate? It's true that some videos can be misleading, but not this one.

I'm not trying to debate that an unarmed man was choked to death. My comment was not aimed at the Eric Garner incident. All I was doing was agreeing with Ramplate's statement that not all videos offer 100% of the story.

videos don''t always tell the whole story sometimes Without justifying the amount of force used, there had been previous complaints lodged against Garner for selling loose cigarettes before. But people do that here everyday and they're not put in choke holds and arrested. They're fined. A lot of the issue rests the policies of the current police chief. On more than one occasion I've read accounts from cops currently serving talking about how everything is focused on quotas and revenue. They don't develop good conflict management or safe restraint practices. It's a bit of a mess.

That being said...I'm a bit disappointed there's no indictment. Just another example of the lack of accountability, further eroding any trust.
And they wonder why people won't listen to cops.

The guy who filmed it was charged.

So I played Cards Against Humanity with the bigger, blacker box and all 5 expansions last night. We seriously went through the entire stack of cards. That was a first.

Take a mirror picture it will work better if you are showing off a ribcage tattoo. I'm looking at getting my eigth tattoo when I get back. Sorry to hear about your nana, but glad to hear she is feeling good over the whole ordeal. And on the downer side: my nana was diagnosed with breast cancer the day after and had a mastectomy today. Thinking positive again: two hours out of surgery and the woman is clear as a bell. She's telling everybody not to fuss over her. No painkillers. Just peachy. Ate a full meal. Bored out of her mind. Apologized to my papa because she's coming home tomorrow and his fun time is over. She offered to cook us a turkey dinner tomorrow which we will literally have to restrain her from doing. My grandmother is a warrior. It sounds like your Nana bounced back pretty good. That's really great to hear. Life update:So on the bright side of my life: got my first tattoo ever last week. Things are going pretty stellar in my life and my friend is a tattoo apprentice (meaning free tattoos) so one thing led to another. She wanted to do realism so I got a big rose on my ribcage (yes, I got a flower, don't knock it I love roses ) Ribcage might have been a bit of a jump though for my first time. Everything was peachy until two hours in and then I was ready to tap out. The girl is so talented it makes me sick. Her first realism/shading tattoo ever and it looks unfriggenreal...maybe I'll post a photo if I can figure out how to bend that way. And on the downer side: my nana was diagnosed with breast cancer the day after and had a mastectomy today. Thinking positive again: two hours out of surgery and the woman is clear as a bell. She's telling everybody not to fuss over her. No painkillers. Just peachy. Ate a full meal. Bored out of her mind. Apologized to my papa because she's coming home tomorrow and his fun time is over. She offered to cook us a turkey dinner tomorrow which we will literally have to restrain her from doing. My grandmother is a warrior. I got my first tattoo a couple of months ago. I'd been contemplating it for a good 8 or 9 years but never had the chance to go to a decent tattooist to get it done properly (it's a bit of a fiddly design) and I couldn't really afford it anyway. Now I'm in London I'm fortunate enough to be able to do both. It came out really well. I think I'll get 2 or 3 more (smallish ones) over the next year or so. You should post yours as the inaugural pic in a new Frizzo Photo Album. PS: Your nana kicks ass. Thanks for the well wishes for my nana guys! She's at home and still doing strong. Went over the day she got discharged...she was up and making a damn turkey dinner. I don't even know. I'm never complaining about anything ever again. And if someone makes a new Photo Album thread I'll definitely post a pic of my tat Mother. of. god. That is seriously horrifying 0_0
