John Stewart on Eric Garner verdict: "They got the shooter of the video," Stewart said. "Let that be a lesson to you kids out there, photographing crime does not pay"
Jon Stewart began "The Daily Show" on Thursday night with an apology for saying that no one involved in the death of Eric Garner had been indicted.
As it turns out, the person who recorded the video of Garner being choked was indicted on weapons charges.
"They got the shooter... of the video," Stewart said. "Let that be a lesson to you kids out there. Photographing crime does not pay."
Some quickly moved to blame Garner's death by choking at the hands of New York City police officer Daniel Pantaleo on just about anything other than the officer's chokehold.
Fox News host Sean Hannity argued that the chokehold wasn't really a chokehold. Rep. Pete King blamed Garner's size and health. Senator Rand Paul even blamed cigarette taxes.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Stewart asked after hearing Paul's remarks. "Well I guess now we know what it takes for a senator from Kentucky to admit cigarettes can kill."
Man going through a checkpoint, arrested for refusing to provide his ID after comparing NYPD officers to Nazi's:
A man going through a checkpoint in New York City was arrested for refusing to provide his identification after he compared officers to Nazi Polizei.
The man, who submitted the video to PINAC without leaving a name, posted the video to o his Youtube channel, which he named Nazi Germany.
“This is not Nazi Germany, sir,” he told a cop in the video. “No, you may not see my papers unless I’m being charged with a crime.”
The cop accused him of being disorderly and arrested him after him several chances to provide his identification.
The NYPD cops said they were doing an “emergency checkpoint,” but refused to tell them the man what was the emergency unless he handed over his license and registration.
"I asked them if they were currently conducting a crime investigation – They said they were not.
I asked if they had probable cause – They said they didn’t need it.
I then refused to deliver to them my papers because I felt their fishing expedition was arbitrary, capricious and in violation to my constitutional rights – And that I did not want to waive those US Constitutional rights which I fought for in war. [In fact my military service was meritorious and left me with life-long side effects for which I am treated for to this day: PTSD and traumatic brain injury.]
The result: they locked me up in jail!
Reichstrunkenbold Whilhelm di Blasio was elected on the promise he would end the NY Gestapo (Reichsbund Deutscher Beamten)!
Next comes the Konzentrationslager!
Seig Heil!"
