The Other Grand Jury - Part 2

You know Eric Garner - the man who was put in a choke hold for allegedly selling cigarettes illegally on a New York street, and choked to death while screaming that he couldn't breathe.

Without revealing exact numbers of how many officers will be put on the streets ahead of the announcement, [New York Police Commissioner Bill ] Bratton said that officers have been told to walk a fine line between allowing the protesters to express their anger while keeping public order.

"If they engage in criminal activity, such as vandalism -- actual crime -- they will be arrested, quite simply," he said. "But we have the ability to have a level of tolerance -- breathing room, if you will," Bratton said.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
