A 400-pound asthmatic Staten Island dad died Thursday after a cop put him in a chokehold and other officers appeared to slam his head against the sidewalk, video of the incident shows. He later DIED! Cops said he had a history of selling untaxed cigarettes and seemed to be provoked. The NYPD in Staten Island is now under fire!
I spend time all day helping several police departments solve gun crimes and the hardest part of my job as a community activist is getting people to work with police. Once again the image of this controversial department is tainted HUGE! Chokeholds were banned 21 years ago in New York. Why did #NYPD use it?? Maybe because he was a huge black man. It is not safe to be black in that city!
