I appreciate the response from the NY AG James.

That said, this man should never have been placed in a chokehold nor should he have been arrested for selling “loosies” cigarettes.

Prayers and thoughts for his family and friends that continue to seek justice in the face of such travesty.

So, now the GOP claims that their racism is not racism.

And opponents of racism are racists.

U.S. attorney Richard Donoghue, said that there was “insufficient evidence” to prove without a reasonable doubt that the NYPD officers involved in the incident “acted in violation of the federal criminal civil rights statute.”

Silly me. I always thought that was the reason we have trials and juries.

Was just reading comments on FB on the decision. Locals in Minneapolis applauding the decision and #backtheblue.

I was tempted to ask if their position would be different had the victim not been black, but I am pretty certain I already know the answer.
