Let me see . . .
Pataleo was the white Police Officer credited with killing a black dude
named Eric Garner for selling cigarettes. A Grand Jury determined that
there was insufficient evidence to proceed with a prosecution so Pataleo
remains free, and on the job as a police man.

The “Eric Garner” Case: Truth versus Ideology

http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/attheintersectionoffaithandculture/2014/12/the-eric-garner-case-truth-versus-ideology.html

From the rough that is contemporary America, the grand jury that just decided that there were no grounds on which to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo for the death of Eric Garner is the second diamond to be retrieved. The first is the grand jury that refused to indict Officer Darren Wilson for the death of Michael Brown.

Reactions have been predictable. The misnamed “protesters” are in reality barbarians for whom such hallmarks of civilization as the rule of law are obstacles to consolidating their power over the rest of us, barbarians, mind you, who block traffic when they aren’t sending other Americans’ dreams up in smoke along with their businesses and livelihoods.

Unsurprisingly, the usual suspects in the leftist media have been laboring tirelessly to express their solidarity with the vandals.

More disappointingly, so too have those who should know better, namely those who are often seen as being on “the right,” both “conservatives” and “libertarians.” Indeed, the emoting and presuming emanating from virtually all quarters has reached epic proportions.

The facts:

(1)Eric Garner was not—was not—killed because he was selling loose cigarettes. He died because he was resisting arrest. The officers on the scene used such force as they deemed necessary to subdue him.

.....(Skip).....

(2)The officers did not kill Garner with a “chokehold.” Officer Pantaleo placed Garner in a headlock, a move that is neither illegal nor in violation of NYPD protocols.

....(Skip)....

(3)The grand jury that chose not to indict Officer Pantaleo on any of the charges on which they could’ve indicted him was composed of 23 people. Nearly two dozen strangers were thrown together for an extended period of time and exposed to mountains of evidence of every conceivable type—including the eye witness testimony of the 22 or so people who witnessed the events in question, the video of the confrontation, Officer Pantaleo’s own testimony, etc. Only 12 jurors were needed for an indictment to be served. The prosecutor couldn’t even get that. These strangers—as well versed in the facts of the case as anyone, and infinitely more so than most of those now criticizing them—concluded that the facts did not warrant an indictment of any sort.

The Daily News reports: “After four months of reviewing the evidence, a majority on the panel concluded [that] there was not enough there to charge Pantaleo with manslaughter, reckless endangerment or criminally negligent homicide. The 23-member grand jury, sources said, was comprised of 14 whites, with the rest being black or Hispanic.”

I have no idea what they were yelling, but there were several of them and they interrupted Booker for a minute or so. This might get interesting if there are more...

Update: They were yelling 'Fire Pataleo' (a NYC cop.)

Seems to me that they should have heckled De Blasio, not Booker.
