Geez...Americans are still executed for selling untaxed cigarettes to get money to feed their family.
Also, the government never stopped chasing hunters around that hunt without government permission.
So Cicero thinks that Eric Garner was executed by the US Govt for selling cigs! Got a link to that Cissy??? Or, in your typical fashion, are you just hyperventilating from your typing fingers???

Why did they choke him to death? For fun? No, they choked him to death because he didn't comply for a lawful command. It was lawful because he was breaking the compassionate law prohibiting the selling of untaxed cigarettes.

So it's your contention that the police were under orders to execute Eric Garner for selling illegal cigs? Is that right? You did state that he was "executed" not killed by mistake or by police misconduct, which would be an entirely difference scenario.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid“is pushing for a vote on gun-control measures, including expanded background checks, in light of the mass shooting last week at an African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, in which nine people were killed,” Politico reports.
Said Reid: “How many more of these tragedies are we going to have to come and try to explain away here?”

The police are under orders to enforce any law they choose.
The police initiated violence toward Eric Garner, the initiation of violence was legally justified because Eric Garner was selling untaxed cigarettes. Eric Garner was ultimately choked to death because he refused to be treated like a slave for selling cigarettes, to earn money trying to survive.
Eric Garner was LEAGALLY killed by law enforcement because he was not collecting the state's tax, and his assailants were not charged with a crime. Yes, he was executed.
The state prohibited selling cigarettes without taxing them, the state hired armed men and permitted them to prevent people from doing it, and the state makes it legal for these armed men to kill if necessary while in the act preventing the sale of untaxed cigarettes.

Garner should have simply stopped trying to make money and sign up for welfare. medicaid and food stamps.

So... what would you call it if the police either mistakenly or by using too much force, killed Garner by accident? Would that also have been an "execution"?

Thanks. I meant to get back to posting that. The Pope must have cleansed the sins of the weapons manufacturers that sell the Vatican their guns and ammo. Seven Hail Mary's and four Our Father's and your back in good standing.

It wasn't an accident. If it was an accident the cop would have been charged with manslaughter. If any mundane initiated physical violence with no premeditation to kill, that person is charged with manslaughter.

Oh no problem, I remember seeing something about that subject posted here, and when I saw the link somewhere else this morning, thought I'd post it here in one of the "expired equine" threads for a chuckle.

LMAO seems New Yorkers aren't as dumb as they seem, newly released stats show that only 2-4% of New Yorkers registered their guns under the safe act, the overwhelming majority are defying the law
