Naturally

And guess what ethnicity that guy is?
On Wednesday, a Staten Island grand jury decided not to return an indictment for the police officer who put Eric Garner, an unarmed black man, in a chokehold shortly before his death. A different Staten Island grand jury was less sympathetic to Ramsey Orta, however, the man who filmed the entire incident. In August, less than a month after filming the fatal July 17 encounter in which Daniel Pantaleo and other NYPD police officers confronted Garner for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes, a grand jury indicted Orta on weapons charges stemming from an arrest by undercover officers earlier that month.
You know, maybe Mr. Orta deserved to be indicted...just like Daniel Pantaleo?

If only Eric Garner had been selling bogus hedge fund shares instead of cigarettes, this would never have happened...

Did he have access to an untaxed supply of cigarettes? I mean that question seriously. If he bought them at the local store wasn't the tax already paid?

It took at least six police to "arrest" Garner for a non-violent crime. How many of them followed Orta around before they saw him obtain a gun? Based on the NYPD's allocation of resources, Staten Island must be the safest place on earth. Or the scariest.
