the choke was undeniably the incorrect way to go about it
Police retreat all the time. Police killing citizens is lower than ever. Knife lady and Brown made poor decisions that justifiably cost them their lives.

there's no national database of police killings, but you claim know all about police retreating?
"justifiably"No matter what cops do, TSA justifies it.
Garner was the choke hold, right?
it's not murder because there was never any intent to kill. They need to do away with the choke hold though.
You are extremely ignorant if you think police don't retreat/de-escalate the majority of the time. If they didn't we'd be hearing about cops killing hundreds of people every day.there's no national database of police killings, but you claim know all about police retreating?
"justifiably"
I don't care for cops, but the two examples you gave were poor ones for unnecessary use of force.
If you don't have retreating FACTS, you're the dumbass
The number of arrests to kill ratio is all I need to prove that cops act with restraint the majority of the time.
arrests is evidence of retreats?
White ‘survivalist’ gunman shoots black Oklahoma police chief 4 times — and walks free
The incident began with a 911 call around 4 a.m. on Thursday, said Sentinel Mayor Sam Dlugonski. A caller reported that a bomb had been planted in Sentinel Community Action Center, home of the local Head Start program.
The city contacted the Oklahoma Highway Patrol’s bomb squad, which responded to the scene and found no evidence of explosives.
Chief Ross and deputies from the Wa a County sheriff’s office traced the call to Horton’s residence on State Route 4. Officers entered the residence by breaking down the door.
Encountering no one in the first room they searched, Ross proceeded into a second bedroom, where Horton shot him four times.
Officers took Horton into custody, but said that they had “insufficient evidence” for an arrest.

he shouldn't have ran away from his car, even thought it was full of smoke. he should have sat there with his hands on the steering wheel and waited for instructions from the police officers

He clearly was murdered. The cop puts him in a choke hold over a citation and after Garner loses consciousness, sarcastically, gives a thumbs up to the camera man (who was actually arrested).
Agreed, because running away means the police punish the runner by beating the out of (black) runner. They NEVER retreat from that pretext. It's their main entertainment.
Even if the black guy were the "right" man, the police "shouldn't" beat him to a pulp. oops, "shouldn't" implies ethics, morals, norms, and clearly the police don't follow them.
The Noise Machine That Quells Dissent
Police in a number of U.S. cities aren’t just tasering and tear-gassing protesters, they’re attacking their sense of hearing. The Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), also called a “sound canon,” is a powerful, military-grade electronic megaphone that, in addition to broadcasting police commands, can be used to disperse crowds with a chirping noise reaching 162 decibels, 42 decibels above the level that can cause immediate and permanent hearing damage.
It condenses the noise into an acoustic cone with an angle of 30 to 40 degrees in front of the machine, which can be mounted on a vehicle or held by hand.
The U.S. military has already used the device against enemy combatants whom soldiers wanted to keep at a distance without firing upon themduring the Iraq War.The LRAD’s crowd dispersal function was employed by the New York City Police Department Dec. 4 and 5 at protests over the death of Eric Garner, who died last July in Staten Island after an officer applied a chokehold to him during an arrest. Several protesters are reported to have suffered hearing problems since, including ringing in the ears, but no one has lost their hearing, Elena Cohen, president of the New York City chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, told Truthdig.
The legal advocacy group known as the National Lawyers Guild is worried about the NYPD’s use of the LRAD and has sent a letter to Police Commissioner Bill Bratton expressing concern. The letter also requests information on how much training officers have received in the use of the machine. In the letter the guild argues that, in addition to causing physical harm, the extreme noise from the device might violate First Amendment rights by dispersing legitimate public demonstrations.
“While the modern-day, commercially available LRADs used by the Department can indisputably be used as communication tools – perhaps even safely, under some limited cir stances – they are designed to perform crowd control and other functions - to modify behavior, and force compliance, by hurting people,”

New police radars can 'see' inside homes
At least 50 U.S. law enforcement agencies quietly deployed radars that let them effectively see inside homes, with little notice to the courts or the public.
At least 50 U.S. law enforcement agencies have secretly equipped their officers with radar devices that allow them to effectively peer through the walls of houses to see whether anyone is inside, a practice raising new concerns about the extent of government surveillance.
Those agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service, began deploying the radar systems more than two years ago with little notice to the courts and no public disclosure of when or how they would be used. The technology raises legal and privacy issues because the U.S. Supreme Court has said officers generally cannot use high-tech sensors to tell them about the inside of a person's house without first obtaining a search warrant.
The radars work like finely tuned motion detectors, using radio waves to zero in on movements as slight as human breathing from a distance of more than 50 feet. They can detect whether anyone is inside of a house, where they are and whether they are moving.

of course the article wouldn't even mention that the officer was black, or even hint at a racial element
racially fueled crime
You know the officer was black because he was chargedhttp://articles.chicagotribune.com/2...beanbag-rounds
You know the officer was black because he was charged
plus the news from last week where the black police captain was shot 4 times by a white guy, the white guy wasn't charged for lack of evidence.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...ults/14830063/
In contrast, here is a story where a white cop got charged. They have a picture of him and of course bring up the race of the victims
It's a disgusting act tbh but I'm merely pointing out how they are being reported
You are so ing stupid some times. The white guy wasn't charged because he didn't do anything wrong. The cops broke in to his house without a warrant, he had nothing to do with the bomb threat. You constantly rail against police breaking in without a warrant but since this guy was white and the officer was black you changed your agenda. You are a fraud.

No charges have been filed against a man who shot the police chief of a small town in Oklahoma four times, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says. Sentinel Police Chief Louis Ross was shot Thursday morning after he entered a house looking for the person who allegedly phoned in a bomb threat to a Head Start center, CNN affiliate KFOR reported. Ross was shot by the man living in the house, KFOR said. The chief had just donned a protective vest, which is credited with saving his life, the OSBI said in a press release. His condition was not available Saturday night. “The man who shot and wounded the Sentinel police chief will not be arrested at this time,” the release said. “OSBI investigators have extensively interviewed the man. Facts surrounding the case lead agents to believe the man was unaware it was officers who made entry.” “We almost lost a good man,” Sentinel Mayor Sam Dlugonski told KFOR. Sentinel, population 900, is about 100 miles from Oklahoma City. The OSBI said somebody called 911 about 4 a.m. Thursday to report a bomb had been placed in the Head Start center. While a bomb squad searched the building and didn’t find any explosives, the chief and deputies went to the home where they thought the bomb threat originated, the OSBI said. “They made entry, cleared the first bedroom, started to clear the second bedroom, he opened fire on police and shot our chief three times in the chest and once in the arm,” Dlugonski told KFOR. The resident, who was not hurt, surrendered to police after the shooting. In a press release issued Friday, the OSBI said it had determined the bomb threat call did not originate from the man’s house. Dlugonski said the caller used the resident’s name, KFOR reported. KFOR reported that officers entered the house without a search warrant. One Sentinel resident said he understood why the shooting happened. “This is country, this ain’t Oklahoma City,” Jimmy Rhoades told KFOR. “You’re taught from a young age that if somebody comes into your house to shoot.” Ross was wearing a protective vest loaned to him by a Wa a County deputy, the OSBI said. “The vest saved Ross’s life,” the OSBI said. - See more at: http://fijione.tv/no-charges-after-o....pgRavZvE.dpuf
turn it around
If the police chief had been white and shot 4 times by a black guy, would the black guy have walked free? no.
Just stop you are embarrassing yourself. You have been wrong about it multiple times and can not keep moving the goalposts.
