I live on Staten Island which is where Garner was choked out and when the cop who choked him out got fired and lost his pension, the local cops were LIVID. They all felt the city wasn't defending them and didn't feel that cops should be punished for "mistakes." Cops in NYC were giving less summonses and violations as a ******** "protest" to prove a point.
Sadly, this is why mayors and governors don't take action and have them put on trial. And even when they do, the judge won't prosecute them like any other murder suspect for those same reasons. Cops know this and they use this pretense of "if you punish one of our brothers, even if he deserves it, you will pay in the form of less efficient police work"
