Holder Admits ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ Claim Was Bogus

this is you LOOKING for Racism

No it is not. It is the Department of Justice looking for racism. That was the point of the report.

What percentage of the population in Ferguson is black? What percentage of the pedestrian population is black? If a town is 90% black, and 90% of charges are against black...this is now racism?

No, from the DOJ report: "90% of citations, and 93% of arrests... from 2011 to 2013, African Americans accounted for 95% of Manner of Walking in Roadway charges, and 94% of all Failure to Comply charges... 90% of documented force used by FPD officers was used against African Americans..."

And finally, "African Americans are more than twice as likely as white drivers to be searched during vehicle stops even after controlling for non-race based variables such as the reason the vehicle stop was initiated, but are found in possession of contraband 26% less often than white drivers"

But no, keep on saying he was shot with his hands up...oh, sorry, we are using the other lie this time, he was choked to death. Lies lies lies.

From Wikipedia: When Pantaleo approached Garner from behind and attempted to handcuff him, Garner swatted his arms away, saying "Don't touch me, please."[15] Pantaleo then put Garner in a chokehold or headlock from behind, and pulled backwards in an attempt to bring Garner to the ground. As Garner was being brought to the ground, other uniformed officers surrounded him. At that point, three uniformed officers and the two plainclothes officers had surrounded him. Garner is heard saying "I can't breathe" multiple times while lying face down on the sidewalk."

So he didn't die from being choked, he died from being put in a chokehold and having four people press on his body while said I can't breathe" over and over after possibly being wrongfully arrested and then passively resisting arrest. If a guy put a cop in a chokehold and it resulted in that cop dying...that's probably homicide, at the very least manslaughter.

TLDR: So basically you're being willfully ignorant at this point. I was glad for you sharing your perspective but if you are going to pivot and use false premises to justify the way you feel, that's another thing entirely. You're just jerking yourself off.
