Police Fighting Back Online in Defense of the Officer That Fatally Choked Eric Garner

It seems that the police community is equally outraged as the New York protestors about the Eric Garner case, the African American who died as a result of the lethal chokehold of Officer Daniel Pantaleo. The law enforcement community feels that they are under the unjust attack of an ungrateful society.

From various websites exclusively open to law enforcement personnel, officers are trumping their indignation. 

One of the comments on these sites read:

"Answer calls, take reports, TAKE YOUR PAYCHECK, and go home. Don't be proactive; let the neighborhood destroy itself."

"Honor dictates we give eight hours of work for eight hours of pay, but it does not require we sacrifice ourselves for a community who routinely sides with the criminals," read another.

Another local website PoliceOne which only allows membership to police officers only had a lot of posts where law enforcers defended the actions Officer Daniel Pantaleo.

"He was not choked to death. He was taken down by the neck after refusing to comply with the lawful arrest of officers of the NYPD."

What can be understood from the law enforcements’ comments is that they are unapologetic about the scene that led to Eric Garners’ death.
