No, it is a left wing lynch mob.
You refuse to accept the actions of the justice system.

This is yet another in your famous string of attempts to argue your
point well beyond the onset of absurdity. You would have been a hoot in
college formal debate because you would have been disqualified or booed
off the podium.

I don't like the actions of grand juries that give cops a free ride when
they commit ultraviolence against unarmed civilians, but that doesn't
make me or others who feel as I do part of a lynch mob. I didn't like
the actions of the O.J. murder jury back in 1995, but I wasn't ready to
lynch anyone. I figured O.J. would get what was coming to him, sooner or
later, and I think the Missouri cop will, too, and so will your hero,
George Zimmerman.

You are like the mobs in the street who will accept nothing but an
immediate conviction and reject the verdict of a jury in the case of
Zimmerman and reject the grand jury in the cases of Wilson and
Pantaleo. You had made up your mind before there were any facts
established, simply based on media reports that are inaccurate.

As I have said many times, there are far better examples but they go
off on the wrong ones.

Why not protest the cop who shot the 12 year old with the air soft gun
or the cop who shot a guy for a seat belt violation.

You people always find a criminal or a thug to defend, then you want
to lynch the guy who shot them in self defense.

In the case of Eric Garner, there were at least 10 people who were
collectively responsible for his death (including Garner himself) and
only one was targeted, simply because he was the most visible.
If I was going to charge someone, it would be the EMTs. Garner was
alive when they got there and they did absolutely nothing to keep him
alive.

When exactly did Garner die?

According at least two sources, Garner did not die at the scene of the
confrontation. He suffered cardiac arrest in the ambulance taking him to
the hospital and was pronounced dead about an hour later.

The EMT's may have had no reason to suspect an impending heart attack.
He had a pulse and was breathing.
