“The man, who was either too hungry to wait or felt as if his privileges as a Caucasian-American were being violated...”

It’s sad how many people these days think that respectability is a bad thing. Our community’s problems will never end until we stop rebelling against respectability.

Classy lady. Nice logic, too: if you pick on my daughter, I’m going to beat up people who had nothing to do with it.

Nope. I’m just a well-behaved black woman who holds other people to the same standards to which I hold myself. I find it very easy to comply with cops, and I see no reason why other black people shouldn’t find it just as easy, unless mental illness is a factor. I’ve gotten pulled over about 10 times in my life, and…

Misogynistic? I’d love to hear your argument for that. I never even touched the issue of gender. I never made any comment that suggests a bias towards or against people based on gender.

She lied about being pregnant. The woman’s niece said that her aunt lied, but I thought, “It’s possible that she was pregnant and her niece didn’t know yet.” However, it was confirmed by a medical examination that she wasn’t pregnant.

“And you somehow believe an officer who has a recorded history of harassing this particilar woman...”

“You come across as particularly white...”

“So when did “not complying” become a capital offense?”

And all caps, too! That’ll show me!

“Yes, and we all know the punishment for not complying with an officer is instant execution, right?”

I have mixed emotions about the 2nd Amendment. I’ve never owned or fired a gun. I don’t have much interest in them. In the past, I was very dismissive of people who were into hunting or recreational shooting—they were all “gun nuts” to me. I’ve come to realize that they’re as diverse as any other group of people and…

Umm...she should have complied. That’s what someone in her position is supposed to do.

The smart money says she was lying about being pregnant. If you care about your baby, you don’t resist.

A woman identified as the victim’s niece said her aunt was lying about being pregnant.

“Garner, who had repeated run-ins with police before the day he was murdered...”

“‘Y’all niggers been trying to do something,’ she said to the men.”
