I want to preface this by saying; I never make comments here on Facebook about anything. Let alone a topic this volatile. I post music, wish people a happy birthday and reconnect with people I havent seen in a while. That to me is the purpose of Facebook, twitter or any other social media outlet. Entertainment, staying in contact with friends and to spread news about good things. That being said, this video is disgusting. The police officers in this video are human beings. They are husbands, wives, mothers, fathers or siblings to somebody also. I have no issue with people speaking their minds. If you want to walk through the streets holding a sign, screaming and freezing your ass off, I have no problem with it. Your American, speak your mind. I do however draw the line when you stop OTHER Americans from living their lives in a normal fashion by blocking highways, bridges or tunnels. I also take offense when you use your platform to try and incite riot or harm against police officers that had NOTHING to do with what went down in Ferguson or in Staten Island. To me thats just stupid. Are there some bad police officers in this Country? Absolutely! However, there are good and bad in ANY profession. Heck we have more doctors on Staten Island distributing prescriptions for narcotics then anywhere in this Country. I dont see anybody in the street protesting against doctors. There are more people dying from drug overdoses in this City/Country then from police brutality. Is it sad when life is lost over something as silly as selling a loosie? without a doubt its sad but doing something illegal is....illegal. Nobody deserved to die but they deserved to be accountable for what they had done.THEY invoked the police officers DUTY to engage them. Bottom line, wear it, own it. It is what it is as we say here in this City. Should there have been an indictment? That will be up for eternal debate and whatever side of the argument you are on, I will say you have valid points. Im not here to judge, I wasnt there and neither were any of the 10,000 people that have had made this City a shit hole over the past few weeks with their die-ins and blocking traffic. To behonest with you, the people walking by you as you lay on the ground all say the same thing. What a loser then they say Get a job or go get a life. If you believe you are making a difference by laying on your back in front of the Barclays Center, then god bless you. Let me know how that life plan works out for you career wise. silive/news/index.ssf/2014/12/police_arrest_protester_who_su.html#incart_river
