  1. Yeah. That's one of the cooler parts of the whole deal. It's also reported they are free to drink the koolaid if they like. It's just so awesome to see so much really keen freedom in America. It really shows how far we've come from those hum drum days of having to repeat things that other people say are good to repeat and learn. What's that smell? I can't breathe!

    I don't understand a word of what you just wrote. I don't even think you understood what you wrote.

    pssst, you said to research it....

    Nice scarf he's wearing.
  2. me too. I think it is interesting to see someone else's view of America. we already know the standard American history and ideology.

    The guy who presented the story said the prof wanted to bring about an alternative view on American history. White people who are proud of America's past treatment of minorities (not just race) wouldn't want the "other side's" story to be told.
  3. They did appear clueless when Eric blacked out. There were a bunch of cops there before the ambulance arrived. I have to believe that some of them had training. Why wasn't anything done or was it normal to wait for trained help in an example like this? I haven't folllowed this case, was anything written about the procedure the police used while waiting for medical help?

    I don't know proper police procedure but I recall that either the cops, EMT or both were admonished for not giving Garner CPR.
  4. I thought all cops had to have some basic medical/emergency training. If he was gasping, they should have noticed it. If he he passed out and was breathing normally, it seems that something else needed to be done. The cops carry some emergency gear in their cruisers. Those couldn't have all been beat cops.

    I recall when this incident had just taken place someone said it is the aim (not reality) of the police to have an experienced officer or detective present with such arrest to ensure that the correct procedures are followed. Even without this experienced cop, the police involved with Eric's death seemed dumbfounded as if they didn't have a clue what to do.
  5. He was unresponsive. The cop said he was breathing. Was he struggling to breathe and the cops ignored it? I saw a cop check his pulse and it looked like to check if he was breathing before the ambulance arrived. There didn't seem to be a sense of urgency while they waited.

    I would not like to believe that the academy doesn't teach about dealing with medical or potential medical crises such as this. Garner could have been gasping and the police couldn't identify a problem. That doesn't make the force look good with training it's men and women.
