Peaceful protests in Ferguson?

Police Union Chief Slams Obama Over 'Excessive Force' Comment

President Barack Obama has been blasted by the head of the Fraternal Order of Police for accusing police in Ferguson, Missouri, of using "excessive force" to handle "peaceful protests."

"I would contend that discussing police tactics from Martha's Vineyard is not helpful to ultimately calming the situation," Executive Director Jim Pasco told The Hill.

"I think what he has to do as president and as a constitutional lawyer is remember that there is a process in the United States and the process is being followed, for good or for ill, by the police and by the county and by the city and by the prosecutor's office."

I meant that the suspended cop has a history. This appears to be his third incident from the article lost posted.

Read it again and it should be clear.

I'm pretty sure Penny wasn't talking to you. Her comment was more likely directed at Lib or unsmiley.

You're welcome.

It sounded like it was me because she used the "it appears like he has a history" part of my post and she applied it to Eric.

has it been pointed out, if you can speak you can breathe? being a 400lb bag of sausage experiencing an adrenaline rush while struggling with multiple people could have an adverse effect on your health. just saying

yes, I have. I've struggled with multiple officers at once also. yanno a funny thing happened. when I quit resisting, the struggling stopped.

Apology accepted.

I was talking about the people debating Eric Garner's criminal history. How many times he was arrested, as if it matters.

But you are right, it did sound like I was talking specifically to you. I wasn't, though. Sorry it seemed that way.

Did they have you in a chokehold? I'd resist anyone trying to stop me from breathing as well, especially when I was gasping at them that I was in trouble and they were ignoring my pleas.

Armed men who have done horrific things are treated better than these cops treated Eric Garner.

if you can talk, you're not being choked...mkay

[Penny Lane 8,159]

So because he could talk, he wasn't being choked?

I guess that medical examiner didn't know what they were talking about then when listing his cause of death.
