Opinion: The NYPD officer accused of killing Eric Garner has been fired. Don't tell me I should be happy

rather than speak up about misconduct, because the private citizens who claim “blue lives” matter while dismissing black lives, despite police being able to take a uniform off and blackness being irremovable. It’s a system protected by lawmakers, lobbyists, and whoever allowed Pantaleo to earn around $500,000 after he killed Eric Garner.

So police officer gets fired, but still has his life, money & pension to live for and enjoy!

Took how long?

Pennyvane10 there would have been riots if he had not been fired. give some credit to Mayor de Blasio for speaking out. no one is happy that Garner had to die.

Note that he is Hispanic, NOT white. This was not white supremacy. This is police state violence. Just like CBP guards oppressing their own countrymen. Take race out of it and address police state agendas. Quit taking cop, guard or soldier jobs. Boycott police state gigs.

You seem to have forgotten the dead guy was a violent life-long criminal convicted felon.

Fired? He should be in jail for murder.

Key word 'accused'. Anyone can accuse someone else. Eric Garner died on the combination of poor health and resisting arrest.
