NYPD Targeting A Witness To Eric Garner’s Death and His Family?

The NYPD blaming everyone else but police officer Daniel Pantaleo who put the chokehold on an unarmed man. Placing blame and accusing others for calling you out on your practices is just ludicrous, and is not gonna fix the problem within the Police department.

Citizens are tired of the bad police officers taking advantage of their power.  You're there to make sure that we're safe, and protected.  Not kill or belittle citizens, because you can.

To arrest a man for selling cigarettes is just crazy in itself.  When we have DRUGS, PROSTITUTION, PIMPS, ROBBERY S and many other crimes being commited.  You should be teaching your officers to use their time wisely. 

NOW TARGETING THE WITNESS AND HIS FAMILY IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE AND WILL NOT HEAL THE COMMUNITIES TRUST IN THE NYPD!  WAKE UP THIS IS A NEW DAY! CAMERAS ROLLING WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT.  IF YOU FOLLOW RULES AND REGULATIONS YOU WOULD NOT BE EXPLAINING AND BLAMING TODAY.

The wife of Ramsey Orta, the man who filmed Eric Garner’s fatal encounter with NYPD has been arrested. This comes just a few days after her husband was arrested in an unrelated incident for which she insists he was “set up.” The Staten Island Advance reports:  

Chrissie Ortiz, 30, the wife of the man who videotaped police performing what appeared to be a fatal chokehold on Eric Garner, was arrested on assault charges, an NYPD spokesman said.

Ms. Ortiz was arrested at 5:30 p.m.  on Tuesday in front of 206 Bay St. in a dispute with a female, the spokesman said.

Man Who Filmed Eric Garner Video Arrested on Weapons Charge

She was arrested a short distance from 202 Bay St. where police attempted to take Garner, 43, of Port Richmond, into custody by using what appeared to be a banned chokehold that precipitated his death July 17.

Ms. Ortiz is accused of assaulting another woman. She was taken to the 120th Precinct and has been released on a desk appearance ticket, the spokesman said.

Ms. Ortiz faces a misdemeanor assault charge.

Just Monday, News One reported that Ramsey Orta, the 22-year-old friend of Eric Garner who filmed his fatal run in with police, was arrested on gun charges. His wife insisted that he was framed by police for his involvement with the Garner case. Watch what she had to say on a local news station.

LA Mayor Eric Garcetti: Joining Forces with Michelle Obama‏ to end Veteran homelessness in LA! LETTER FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE

Today First Lady Michelle Obama joined me in Los Angeles where we pledged to end veteran homelessness by the end of 2015. Now it's your turn to join us. There is no one to whom you or I owe a greater debt of service than to our veterans. Yet, across the country, veterans find themselves with few opportunities and little  chance to get ahead when they return home. The  heartbreaking reality is that nearly 60,000 veterans will  be sleeping on the streets tonight. The President, the  First Lady, and I are determined to bring that number  down to zero. Unfortunately, Los Angeles has more homeless former service members than any other American city. Winning here means we can win everywhere. Join forces with us and pledge your support to end  veteran homelessness. We know what it takes to get this done: more affordable housing, better access to support services, and holding our elected representatives accountable so their words of support are backed up with action. That's where you come in.  Let's join forces and show support for our veterans. Eric Garcetti Mayor
