It's a fucking tax law. Why should the fucking tax law be on the books
that makes it a crime for selling cigarettes lacking a tax stamp? Note
that he'd already paid all taxes on the cigarettes upon buying the whole
package.
Good you be just a tiny bit sympathetic, Rich? It was a fucking
victimless crime, unless you're very concerned about New York City's
inability to collect sufficient sin taxes.

It's quite simple:
If some action you (in this case, officer Pantaleo) are
taking that's causing someone to scream out that you're
killing him, then unless you've got a damn good reason
to continue that specific ation, you pretty well should
be stopping and rethinking what you're doing.

common behavior with Black people and died because he was fat, (350lbs) had
asthma and heart disease, also common among Black people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Eric_Garner
Garner had been arrested by the NYPD more than thirty times since 1980 on charges
such as assault, resisting arrest, and grand larceny
At the time of the incident, he was out on bail for selling untaxed cigarettes, driving
without a license, marijuana possession, and false impersonation.
On August 1, Garner's death was found by the New York City Medical Examiner's
Office to be a result of "compression of neck (choke hold), compression of chest and
prone positioning during physical restraint by police". Asthma, heart disease, and
obesity were cited as contributing factors. There was no damage to the trachea
(windpipe) or neckbones

personally think Pantaleo should have been fired and brought up on charges
but I don't know that he would have been convicted. Garner could have
saved himself by not resisting arrest and his obesity and other health
problems did contribute to his death..
Garner had a laundry list of crimes. 30 arrests in 34 years including for
assault. He was out on bail when he died. These cops were told to crack
down on petty crime. Probably because store owners in the area complained.
This was sadly predictable.

Garner could have
saved himself by not resisting arrest and his obesity and other health
problems did contribute to his death..
Garner had a laundry list of crimes. 30 arrests in 34 years including for
assault. He was out on bail when he died. These cops were told to crack
down on petty crime. Probably because store owners in the area complained.
This was sadly predictable.

Murder requires specific intent to kill. To convict that cop for murder the
prosecution would have to show the cop intended to kill Garner when he put
him in that hold, something that it would be exceedingly difficult to do
beyond a reasonable doubt absent the cop shouting something like, "I'll
kill you, motherfucker!" while doing it.

that was actually convicted in Chicago for shooting Laquan McDonald 16

Moreover, that proviso seems to make sense, by disallowing manslaughter

Murder requires specific intent to kill. To convict that cop for murder the
prosecution would have to show the cop intended to kill Garner when he put
him in that hold, something that it would be exceedingly difficult to do
beyond a reasonable doubt absent the cop shouting something like, "I'll
kill you, motherfucker!" while doing it.

parse too well. Homicide as a result of a criminally reckless act is
indeed manslaughter. You don't have to prove that the criminal intended to
kill. You just have to prove that the act that lead to dead was criminally
reckless. Homicide from a collision in which the driver was drunk is a
common example of a criminally reckless act.

Moreover, that proviso seems to make sense, by disallowing manslaughter
when I claim it because "I was only aiming at his sternum".

Garner had a laundry list of crimes. 30 arrests in 34 years including for
assault. He was out on bail when he died. These cops were told to crack
down on petty crime. Probably because store owners in the area complained.
This was sadly predictable.

same claim that "I can't breathe"? It's simply a case that they can't
catch their breath and are having difficulties that can lead to death
if not corrected. It doesn't mean they could catch enough air to make
a quick call out about their difficulty.
Besides, if all that could have resulted from this 'crime' was a fine
then the cop's action really do seem to be uncalled for.

That Garner was out on bail for the last time he got busted for selling
stollen smokes means this isn’t something that simply results in a ticket,
he has to be arrested, cuffed, put in the cruiser, taken to the police station,
processed, tossed in a cell, bailed out and face a hearing before a judge.
What are the cops supposed to do when someone says “fuck you, I ain’t
getting arrested!”, just let them walk away?
Does this also apply to other ethnic groups or are only Black people allowed
to commit crimes and then ignore the police?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Eric_Garner
"Garner had been arrested by the NYPD more than thirty times since 1980 on
charges such as assault, resisting arrest, and grand larceny.
many of these arrests had been for allegedly selling unlicensed cigarettes
At the time of the incident, he was out on bail for selling untaxed
cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession, and false
impersonation."
The photographer/witness went to jail for weapons charges and after
complaining the cops tried to murder him in jail, is now in prison for drug
and weapons charges.
"Officers confronted Garner and accused him of selling "loosies
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loosie)" (single cigarettes without a tax
stamp) in violation of New York state law."
How the Hell much can you sell a single cigarette for?
Al Sharpton rabbled roused everything into a frenzy.
"An ME said the 'neck compression' exacerbated Garner's asthma, heart
disease, and obesity. But there "was no damage to thetrachea or neckbones""
They didn't like the official ME's results so they kept shopping for other
MEs apparently to appease Sharpton.
It was sent to a grand jury who decided not to indict.
Protesters" started AMBUSHING AND MURDERING POLICE OFFICERS.
Garner's family threatened police. His 27 year old daughter dropped dead of a
heart attack herself.
Obama rabble roused.
Family gets paid off; just under $6m.
Not liking the grand jury exoneration of the cops, the DoJ steps in. FBI and
Feds say there should be no charges.
Obama's new Attorney General removes everybody on the case and brings in NEW
investigators.
THEY find that the cops should not face Federal charges.
Finally, five years later, they get a cherry picked ME to claim that the
'chokehold' caused the asthma attack. Said ME concedes "that even "a bear
hug" could have had the same effect as the chokehold, given that Garner
weighed 395 pounds, suffered from asthma and diabetes, and had a heart twice
the size of a healthy person's heart."
Internal Affairs wants the cop fired anyway. Finally they get an apparently
unnamed (which is weird) "New York City police department administrative
judge" who had been in charge of aspects of the case to recommend firing.
"New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch
blasted the judge's recommendation as "pure political insanity." He said the
judge "ignored evidence and trampled P.O. Pantaleo's due process rights in
order to deliver the results that the grandstanding politicians and
protesters demand."
He said if O'Neill upholds the decision, it will send a message to city
officers that they are "expendable.""
BTW Garner had 100 loose cigarettes on him at the time, and had just been
involved in a fight, which is what the cops were initially called for.
CBS says all this happened on Staten Island, which we know from Law& Order
is where they send disciplined cops who then complain endlessly 'cause
there's no crime to fight out there (I've never understood that either).
My big takeaway is that apparently NYC (or, I guess, Staten Island) cops are
grotesquely overweight.

And it doesn’t matter even if the cops had no cause to arrest him, a street

Cigarette packs are up to a minimum of $13 each (the "base price") in
NYC. Loosies can go for a dollar or more.
This is nothing new. Loosies were commonly sold during the Depression
by legitimate businesses, even though it's always been against local
law to do so. I don't know when it became illegal under federal law,
but it is.
I was in New York in the '80s. Sharpton made everything far, far worse
than it was. The Tawana Brawley debacle he orchestrated was bad
enough; I submit that his vicious, racist attacks on assault victim
Marla Hanson were even worse. Everybody's free to look 'em up.
Of course Sharpton has an MSNBC show. He has it because, in 2010, he
came out in support of Comcast's acquisition of NBC Universal, which
went through the following year -- which is when Sharpton was given

Still this seems on it's face to be a silly thing to enforce; unless the
cigarettes are stolen, the tax was already paid somewhere down the line. But
it seems it's not about the tax itself; it's illegal to resell loosies at

Hmm. Holy shit. The tax on 20 cigarettes in NYC is $5.85. The report on
Garner was that he had 10,000 cigarettes on him (it was actually 100).
Highest tax in the USA on a pack of 20 cigarettes is Cook County, Illinois -
$7.42. Lowest is Missouri - 17¢
Before anyone asks, it's illegal to buy tax free cigarettes on the Indian
reservation and resell 'em.
I wondered why the Hell people drove to the reservation store to buy
cigarettes. At a tax savings of up to $74.20 a carton, it makes sense.

"That particular area of the 120th Precinct has been the subject of numerous
quality-of-life complaints and enforcement actions for months," Davis said.
"Among the specific public complaints of illegal activity in that area included
the sale of untaxed cigarettes as well as open (alcohol) container and marijuana
use and sale offenses."
Garner's rap sheet includes eight arrests for possession and selling cigarettes.
But the 311 tip made its way to Banks' office where "the untaxed cigarette problem
on Bay St." was discussed, a source said. A day after the 311 call was made, cops
arrested Garner for selling cigarettes without proper tax stamps.
Cops found him in possession of 23 sealed packs of untaxed cigarettes and one
open pack, officials said. He was arrested with untaxed cigarettes again on May 7,
officials said.
Then, a week before his death, Garner was "warned and admonished" about selling
untaxed cigarettes, a police source said.

Hmm. Holy shit. The tax on 20 cigarettes in NYC is $5.85. The report on
Garner was that he had 10,000 cigarettes on him (it was actually 100).
Highest tax in the USA on a pack of 20 cigarettes is Cook County, Illinois -

I think the tax stamp is generally for municipal taxes. You just write a
check for the state portion of the tax. If the state and local taxes are

As for the suggestion that the smokes came from a Mohawk smokeshop
that's unlikely as Mohawk packages do have a stamp, just not the same
one as regular cigs with their stamps saying under what authority they
were sold tax exempt and as stated reselling tax-free cigarettes off

Yeah, when your taxes are due in April, you have to claim and pay use
tax for out-of-state purchases you brought home-- this applies to any
out-of-state purchase, not just cigarettes. If you buy a car, furniture,
Amazon orders, etc., it's all subject to use tax. But the cops on the
side of the road have no way of knowing whether a person will properly
claim that carton of cigs on their state tax return six, eight, nine

And how are they spying on people crossing the border? In the DC area at
least, the border is crossed by half a dozen freeways with 4-6 lanes in
each direction. That's hundreds of cars per minute on each freeway. Are
they just stopping people at random looking for the cigs? Because they
sure as hell can't stop everyone and I don't know of any external
indicators that says to a cop, "This is a car that has Virginia

considering how government offices may not even be open when you cross
back into Maryland-- unless the cops follow them all the way home, they
have no idea at the state line if the person is on their way to pay the
tax or not.
"Yes, judge, I was heading to the Treasurer's office to pay the tax when
this cop pulled me over the moment I crossed into Maryland and wrote me
the citation."
The state has to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. Seems like

I hope not, but cops are capable of doing anything.

real fireworks in Georgia. Never stopped people from crossing the
border into the neighboring states to buy fireworks as you could tell
from all the fireworks going off around the 4th of July.
I can remember crossing the state border (north, south and west) and
seeing multiple big building selling fireworks within the first few
miles. Wonder how they are doing after Georgia allowed fireworks to be
sold in the state again. Now there's big packages of fireworks in a
stand at my local Publix year round.

enough to get the whole story on the case.
Definitely sounds like the cop (a) saw a frequent offender and was
determined to get him off the street (b) took him to the ground harder
than someone not "known to the police" would have been done leaving
(c) whether the level of force was out of line or not and whether this
was just an unfortunate accident due to the victim's poor health
(which is not something an officer would reasonably be expected to
know in advance).
Though the victim's family (and Al Sharpton) won't agree, given his
record I think the officer deserves more leeway than usual
particularly as the victim continued to resist arrest even after being
on the ground. Had he stopped at that point the tragedy would not have
happened.
But don't expect me to have sympathy for anybody who says this is
another case of "innocently walking down the street while black".
There was a homicide but no intent to kill thus manslaughter AT THE
VERY MOST.

Cops don't have the right to take people off the streets who aren't
doing anything illegal.
The hold he used that killed Garner was PROHIBITED by his own department.
You keep saying resisting arrest? Arrest for what? Garner wasn't doing

Loosies don't have tax stamps. It's illegal to sell cigarettes in quantities
smaller than a pack. Apparently there's a huge market for 'counterfiet'
ciggies as well as stolen ciggies and ciggies from tax free areas.
I agree that it probably shouldn't be illegal to buy a pack and break it up
and sell them individually, but it *is* - mostly I guess because there's no
way to tell where a loose came from.

the manufacturer and included in the price you pay) has been paid.
Minus the stamp it HASN'T been paid and is thus not legal to sell. The
crime in this case is by the vendor not the final buyer.

It's a fucking tax law. Why should the fucking tax law be on the books
that makes it a crime for selling cigarettes lacking a tax stamp? Note
that he'd already paid all taxes on the cigarettes upon buying the whole
package.
Good you be just a tiny bit sympathetic, Rich? It was a fucking
victimless crime, unless you're very concerned about New York City's
inability to collect sufficient sin taxes.

that resemble VAT that we have in this country. It's paid by the
wholesaler for resale of cigarette packs in a municipality with a stamp
tax ordinance.

A man with his record is unemployable. Petty crime at the least becomes
the only way to get by.

Does it matter? Unless you are going to make the punishment for every
serious crime death then those convicted criminals will face a
lifetime of difficulties because of that conviction. That's true
whether they are hardened criminal with no hope of redemption or
someone that made a really bad decision (probably as a young man.)

on the job similar to what he's done in the past? The employer is liable.
Wasn't that how the Boy Scouts and the Catholic Church became liable for
huge settlements?
Say someone mugged someone in the past. Can he be hired for a job in
which he's never alone with anyone else? Even if a retailer keeps the
guy entirely in the stock room, there are still unobserved corners of
the stock room in which other employees could be threatened by him.
If he's ever forged a check, he cannot be hired in future for any job
involving money, not even bookkeeping if he's capable of that work.
What do you expect an employer to do? Anybody can learn to be a driver,
of kids on a bus, taxi, delivery, or Lyft or Uber, but the company gets
sued if it failed to learn the criminal background of one of its drivers
who then commits a violent act.
