If Ferguson had been the only incident regarding this issue of police behavior along with white and black relations we might see less of this bullshit. It wouldn't have a wide berth or platform because Mike Brown was an asshole who messed with a cop and paid the price for it.

But the Staten Island was clear cut. He should've been charged with something. It was a breach of NYPD policy and excessive. The fact that nothing was brought against the cop is pretty baffling. And what's more it's going to give these wingnuts lying down in the street more ammo. They'll use this one incident to their advantage for personal gain or for an ideological agenda driven by emotions and not reason.
