Resisting arrest. For, presumably, selling loosies even though it wasn’t shown that Garner was doing that at the time. Good thing Garner wasn’t scalping a ticket, then we would have had to bring in the SWAT team,
BTW, what was King’s take on Cliven Bundy?
King is despicable.

Lying scumbag P.O.S. says what!?!?
So now it’s the death penalty for shoplifting and obesity? That chokehold was illegal.
Better watch out Wal*Mart shoppers!
No, this decision does not have to be respected.
I have, however, now officially lost all respect for Law Enforcement in this country. How quickly we have become a third world banana republic.

If being overweight is now considered a capital offense, then there’s a lot of us on death row.
Every time you think a right-winger can’t possibly say something more stupid, they set a new low.

It’s funny, we keep hearing about Muslims needing to speak out against terrorists, blacks needing to “police” their own, etc. When will we start hearing that COPS need to speak out when they see their own doing wrong?

Yes, absolutely correct.
We need the police to police their own.
Too bad that will never happen.

Five of New York’s finest saw fit to take this guy down and strangle him until he was dead. The option was to arrest him for selling cigarettes. Faced with that choice, it’s no wonder they chose to kill him instead.
Edit: Flashback to New York during the Great Depression when stockbrokers and bankers we’re selling apples on Wall Street. I don’t recall reading about any of New York’s finest killing those guys.

These racist politicians have realized that through gerrymandering, restrictive voting laws, appeals to latent racist tendencies in many voters, the Citizen’s United case, and the never-ending Koch dollars, that electoral victories do not require moderation of their extremist views.
How come it is always the left that is told to “moderate” its views? The Corporate Media is the vehicle used to perpetuate the power of these racist bastards.
“Liberal Media”, indeed.

Or Maybe …Eric Garner Wouldn’t Have Died From Chokehold If He Didn’t have Asthma…
Or Maybe … Eric Garner Wouldn’t Have Died From Chokehold If He Didn’t have Heart Disease …
Or Maybe … Eric Garner Wouldn’t Have Died From Chokehold If He Didn’t have a Police Officer applying a Chokehold - - Important to note - Chokeholds have been banned by the NYPD entirely since 1993 - yep banned for the past Twenty-one years!

Pete King is not obese, so somebody should choke the fucker.
Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.

King might have credibility, if he wasn’t a drunk.

And if terrorist sympathizer Pete King didn’t have a skull made of cement holding brains made of mashed potatoes, he wouldn’t say stupid things. If, if, if…

Sure, and if bigoted pigs like Peter King weren’t in positions of power running this country, we might truly be a great nation.

We can only blame the people who elect morons like this. Eric Garner was OBVIOUSLY not “resisting arrest” as his his were raised when the chokehold was applied! Did King even see the video? King should be removed from public office!

The only reason King’ isn’t laughed off the stage for many of the incomprehensible things he says is the majority of us realize he is severely mentally impaired and he is in a position of authority.Frightening.

King was concerned that being a¨thug¨ was becoming cliché as a reason for killing someone, so he went to ¨obese¨ instead.

Actually?
Under current BMI (Body Mass Index)–
I’d hazard that King is considered obese.
If just marginally.
Then? Factor in his apparent density.
