#ICantBreathe And #CrimingWhileWhite Trend After No Indictment In Eric Garner's Chokehold Death


Somebody has GOT to be pulling an Oprah; giving out free "no indictment" cards to all smh...

A Staten Island grand jury's decision not to indict NYPD officer, Daniel Pantaleo, for the illegal chokehold death of Eric Garner has sent a new wave of demonstrators into protest mode and sparked major shock and outrage within the social media world.

The conclusion comes just 9 days after a grand jury found no illegality in police officer, Darren Wilson's actions for the shooting and killing of unarmed teenager, Michael Brown. Talk about pouring salt on an open wound.

Since the decision, celebs and others have used their virtual voices to weigh in on both Brown and Garner cases using trending hastags, #ICantBreathe for the protest of Eric, and #CrimingWhileWhite for those oblivious to ongoing race relation issues in America.

Check out what some had to say below.

#CrimingWhileWhite :

Gee, I wonder what would happen to a group of Black guys if they did this? #CrimingWhileWhite

The hashtag #CrimingWhileWhite is an eye opener. #ThatIsAll

If you're a cop and an unarmed man is threatening to you, maybe don't be a cop. #ICantBreathe

I could touch on the topic from a personal standpoint but much of the saying has already been said...

Right is right, wrong is wrong, there is no in between. God loves you, God loves me, not because we're white, black, blue or green..."Humanity was created in the image of God and therefore EVERY human is of infinite worth." Genesis 1:27
