Grand Wizard Peter King adds his opinion on the Garner decision

[marmar]

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said on Wednesday that if Eric Garner had been healthier, he would not have died after a police officer placed him in a chokehold.

"If he had not had asthma, and a heart condition and was so obese, almost definitely he would not have died from this," King told CNN's Wolf Blitzer during an interview.

Even though video captured Garner saying that he couldn't breathe as officer Daniel Pantaleo placed him in a chokehold and wrestled him to the ground, King said that "police had no reason to know that he was in serious condition." .................(more)

1. If the cop hadn't put him in a PROHIBITED choke hold, he'd not have died either.

Or maybe if those cops had LISTENED to him repeating over and over and over he couldn't breath.....

7. I cannot believe someone said this on national tv in 2014.

How many American's are listening to this and agreeing with it? Surely it must be a small minority?

10. What that man said - it just amazed me.

He even said - well, you can't talk if you can't breathe -

He was almost smiling.

Garner is dead, so I assume that he could not breathe! Gah.

11. Peter King supporter of the IRA!

Regarding the 30 years of violence during which the IRA killed over 1,700 people, including Lord Mountbatten, Lord Kaberry, Sir Anthony Berry MP and over 600 civilians, King said, "If civilians are killed in an attack on a military installation, it is certainly regrettable, but I will not morally blame the IRA for it."

12. Lots of people have health issues, the police need to protect everyone

The police should not put people in positions that could trigger serious health issues. The police should know that choke holds can be deadly especially when performed on a person who already has health issues, because the police do not know the health of most people they need to assume everyone has health conditions and exercise restraint with everyone.

Wasn't his fault he had health problems.....these cops shouldn't have done what they did, period, regardless of whether Garner had died or not.
