Joe319,
I'm not really sure what you're talking about. This website is open to the public, and anyone could grab a screenshot of the comments section on an article.
It doesn't really matter to me though, because I could give a shit less if some hipster news site gets pissy about what we have to say. They want to treat the Eric Garner case as if he was murdered in cold blood by the police. If a cop gets in a foot chase and has a heart attack due to his poor physical conditioning, the people at "Policy Mic" would say it was his fault and that he should have known the risks of the job. Well the same goes for Eric Garner. He fought some cops, and his body couldn't handle it.

I will always be concerned about people who end up dead unnecessarily. It's not even about how to punish anyone. It's about how to keep people alive
A chase ensued and Rodriguez was hit when a police car turned a corner and in the darkness failed to see him crouching near the sidewalk, according to the police statement. "The subject either fell or was attempting to hide the spray cans under a nearby car," the statement said.
Evidence indicated that the police car was traveling less than 15 miles per hour at the point of impact, it said.
Rodriguez is the second street artist to die in the Miami area in the past 16 months. Israel Hernandez-Llach, 18, died in August last year after being struck by a police Taser gun when he was cornered by officers who spotted him spray-painting a building in Miami Beach.
Protesters also called for justice in Hernandez-Llach’s case. The family has sued both the Miami Beach Police Department and the officer who tased him, and the case is being reviewed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
A former Florida State University football star may become the first American in 16 years to be caned in Singapore after he overstayed his tourist visa.
Kamari Charlton, 37, was arrested as he tried to leave the country.
He claimed he failed to leave when his 90-day visa expired because his wife was receiving medical care for complications in her pregnancy.
The offence is punishable in Singapore with a maximum jail term of six months and at least three strokes of the cane.

The U.S. Embassy said it is monitoring the case.
‘Embassy officials have provided consular assistance to this individual, including five visits by consular officers,’ said a spokesman.
‘We remind U.S. citizens that foreigners in any country are subject to the laws of that country. We respect Singapore's right to try and sentence individuals within due process of law,’ he added.
The Southeast Asian country boasts one of the lowest violent crime rates and highest standards of living in the world, but human rights groups often criticize the government for severe punishments, such as a mandatory death penalty for drug traffickers.
Singapore also reiterated a ban on the sale of chewing gum and announced a crackdown on littering this year.

"Them"? Can't talk to the dead, anyway.
Damn, though, that's a bunch of research and commentary. Oh well, I tried addressing the question.
Oh yeah, education is the key.

I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone of spent two years of my life trying to get in law enforcement. The way I see it If I was given a scenario question for this situation I would have said I would give the man a ticket and have moved and that would have been the correct answer. I know a lot of cops (both good and bad) and they've told me that things like this are a police department's worse nightmare. I even had a friend who was in a similar situation (no one died) over a hit and run and his reprimanded him for not just writing a ticket.
It should be noted that what is being argued is whether or not there should have been a trial. No one is being manipulated to believe there should be a trial but without a trial we never have all the details.
Although the major media remain mum on the subject, it appears that a black female sergeant by the name of Kizzy Adoni supervised the arrest of the 6’4,” 400 lb. Eric Garner in New York City on July 17, 2014. As NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo and former LAPD Sergeant Stacey Koon can attest, there seems to a serious double standard at play here.
Unlike Missouri, New York State allows only very limited disclosure of grand jury proceedings. What follows is based on the bits of evidence that have made their way into the public sphere. The most compelling of that evidence is the three-minute amateur video of Garner’s arrest. This video has numerous edits so it is impossible to draw a perfect timeline of events.
The video shows the massive Garner loudly telling two undercover officers that he does not want to be arrested for selling black market cigarettes. Garner, 43, had been arrested more than thirty times previously on charges including assault and resisting arrest. He had also been arrested several times previously for selling unlicensed cigarettes and was out on bail when arrested. they had to arrest him
Knowing this, the officers appear to fence with Garner while they wait for back-up to arrive. They are also well aware that an unfriendly witness is shooting video. Given the edits in the video, it is impossible to tell how long they waited, but it was at least a few minutes. Finally, Pantaleo, an eight-year veteran, attempts to grab Garner’s arm to handcuff him, and Garner throws him off. “Don’t touch me,” he shouts. the video clip was edited, dosnt say who or why
At this point, Pantaleo, who is about a half a foot shorter and 200 pounds lighter than Garner, leaps up and puts Garner in a headlock. According to Police Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch, Pantaleo did “nothing more than take Mr. Garner into custody as instructed.” He did so using “the take-down technique that he learned in the academy.” The classic chokehold, the kind featured in the Spike Lee movie Do the Right Thing, is intended to cause a struggling perp to lose consciousness.
Pantaleo’s goal is to take Garner down, which he does with some success. He keeps him in that hold for about fifteen seconds. Had Garner not health problems -- obesity, advanced diabetes, heart disease and asthma -- he likely would not have been hurt. There were 228,000 misdemeanor arrests in New York City in 2013. No others ended in this fashion.
As Pantaleo and several other officers hold Garner down to cuff him, Garner repeats several times, “I can’t breathe.” He obviously can, but he is clearly in some distress. A second video shows several officers tending to Garner, now lying on his side, as they await an ambulance.
Six minutes into this second video, the officers load Garner onto a stretcher, no easy task, and he is carted away. By this point, however, he seems to have lost consciousness. He reportedly suffers cardiac arrest in the ambulance and dies in the hospital an hour later. he died later en route to the hosp
Among the few media outlets to address the role of Sgt. Adoni was the aptly named LA Progressive. Cheryl Dorsey, a black former LAPD sergeant, took Adoni to task. “I am appalled by the seeming lack of leadership displayed by the sergeant on the scene during the #ICantBreathe incident,” Dorsey wrote. Adoni, Dorsey explained, was expected to manage and control the subordinate officers under her command. “So then for a sergeant, and a black woman at that, to stand idly by and do nothing is egregious,” she concluded.
Only Pantaleo, however, faced indictment. Adoni, by contrast, was offered immunity to testify against him. Sgt. Stacey Koon, who managed the arrest of Rodney King after a high-speed chase in 1991, had no such luck. Like Adoni, he merely supervised the scene and did not touch King during the arrest. Unlike Garner, King survived the arrest. Nevetheless, Koon was tried in a criminal court for an excess use of force.
At the trial, the defense attorneys convinced the jury that the officers were following procedure. After the acquittal of Koon and three other officers, a massive riot erupted in Los Angeles that led to fifty-three deaths. In an apparent effort to appease the black community, the Department of Justice tried and convicted Koon of violating King’s civil rights -- double jeopardy in all but name -- and sentenced him to thirty months in prison.
Although not indicted by the Richmond County [Staten Island] grand jury, nine of whose twenty-four members were minorities, Pantaleo may have a civil rights case of his own. As PBA president Lynch noted, Pantaleo took Garner into custody “as instructed.” What caused Garner such distress was not so much the take-down as the pressure three officers, Pantaleo among them, brought to bear on Garner in trying to cuff him. Health professionals call this “restraint-related positional asphyxia.” It was during this sequence that Garner repeated, “I can’t breathe.” interesting enough the officer may have a case againts those in charge "Pantaleo took Garner into custody “as instructed." "restraint-rlated positional asphyxia" caused by 3 officers trying to take him down under the instruction of the sergeant in charge
Adoni could have called the officers off, much as Koon could have called the officers off King, but she did not. The initial police report quotes Adoni as saying, “The perpetrator’s condition did not seem serious and he did not appear to get worse.”
That Adoni was offered immunity, and Koon or Pantaleo not, gives the appearance at least of a race-based application of justice.
Pantaleo has one other major gripe. As a result of affirmative action, collective bargaining, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, the NYPD ranks are loaded with physically useless cops. Many of them were on the scene that day. At least two male officers were less than 5’ 6” and slight. Three other male officers were obese, one shockingly so, and the two female sergeants appeared to be both short and overweight. If Pantaleo had not been there, it is hard to imagine how his colleagues would have effected an arrest.
he happened to be the lucky or unlucky one that happened to be able to effect the arrest
There are lessons to be learned in studying this incident, but none of them holds much interest for the activists, the media, the New York City mayor, and the White House. They have got their narrative, and they will stick to it, even after it falls apart. For their part, the police will quietly withdraw from pro-active policing in black communities. As the treatment of Daniel Pantaleo and Ferguson’s Darren Wilson have shown, there is no future in it.
