You know the ironic thing about the nfl is the bafflingly high rate their players break the law. I wonder if constantly committing crimes and getting arrested could lead one to develop any bias towards the police and government?
That cop fucked up by choking Garner but Garner was a moron for resisting arrest. If the cops are in the wrong then you let them arrest you and you let the court decide. The guy had a huge criminal record so its not like he was some innocent guy.
Every living being has a reflex. Every action has a reaction. This fact the cops know very well. The manner in which a person is arrested may or may not trigger these natural reactions from those under arrest. You tell me, if a cop started to choke you, would you stay still? You can not simply because your body will experience a fight or flight response. It is that response which cops pray on. Do you understand?
I said the cop fucked up by choking him... But a cop wouldn't choke me because I wouldn't resist arrest in the first place. If that was a response that cops prey on they wouldn't have continuously told him he was under arrest they would have simply threw him to the ground without warning.
