| Subject: The Only Person Going to Jail For Eric Garner’s Death is the Man Who Filmed it, and He’s Getting 4 years Wed Oct 05, 2016 4:42 am | |
| Ramsey Orta, the man who filmed the most infamous police killing of Eric Garner – and was thereafter targeted by police in a barrage of “false and/or trumped up charges” – was sentenced to four years in prison for gun possession and drug charges. While many of NYPD’s finest will celebrate the silencing of an activist who helped expose police brutality, the reality is thatanother man is being locked in a cage for victimless crimes, while the one who murdered Eric Garner walks free. - Quote :
- “Ramsey Orta told his family “it will be okay” in Staten Island Supreme Court as Justice Stephen Rooney read out his sentence.
As court officers put handcuffs on Orta, protesters stood up in the courtroom, holding their fists in the air, flashing peace signs and chanting, “No justice no peace! F–k these racist police!” http://thefreethoughtproject.com/ramsey-orta-eric-garner-4-years/ |
