Carol and I will be dealing with the fallout from that day he rest of our lives -- both because her arm will never be the same and because we lost almost all our possessions. We still are pushing for a fair day in court, and God willing, that day will come. We are thankful Ms. Garner and her family sent a loud message about police brutality in Colorado.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-79502113696002538552022-03-08T17:49:13.507-06:002022-03-08T17:49:13.507-06:00They did the same to your wife.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know that many of us still think about that day. Using that much force on an older lady was just crazy, but in a way, I guess you should feel lucky they didn't kill the both of you. I don't understand how they got away with that, but I do think you and your wife were marked people who never have been given a fair day in court. It might be in the next life, but they will have to answer for their conduct. Take care and may God Bless you and your wife.RiccoPittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475043211309686394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-2662254585372805112022-03-08T13:56:20.909-06:002022-03-08T13:56:20.909-06:00This report from UK Guardian includes Wal-Mart sec...This report from UK Guardian includes Wal-Mart security footage.

The defendants’ proffered justification for all this? Ms. Garner was suspected of having exited a Walmart without paying for $13.88 of items. Walmart employees had stopped her at the exit and retrieved the items, however, and then refused to let her pay.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-51760964813185982712022-03-08T13:46:01.332-06:002022-03-08T13:46:01.332-06:00Where's the crime here?
