Sharpton Spews Demonstrable Lie Police Chokehold Illegal

Jack Coleman, Dec. 7, 2014, Newsbusters

In what imaginary world does it make any sense that advice is sought from an arsonist on putting out fires?

There was Sharpton on Meet the Press this morning, duly armed with kerosene, doing his part to make matters worse in the aftermath of a Staten Island grand jury deciding against indicting a New York City police officer in the death of Eric Garner last July in a so-called chokehold.

Could still face charges

Woman Punched Repeatedly By Calif Highway Cop Settles For $1.5 Mil, Officer Resigns 

By Associated Press, Sept. 24, 2014, Sacramento.cbslocal.com

LOS ANGELES (AP) – A woman punched repeatedly by a California Highway Patrol officer on the side of a freeway in an incident caught on video will receive $1.5 million under a settlement reached Wednesday night, and the officer has agreed to resign.

CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow confirmed the settlement in an emailed statement and an attorney for Marlene Pinnock confirmed the dollar amount for The Associated Press.

The agreement came after a nine-hour mediation session in Los Angeles.

“When this incident occurred, I promised that I would look into it and vowed a swift resolution,” Farrow’s statement said. “Today, we have worked constructively to reach a settlement agreement that is satisfactory to all parties involved.”

The statement said that Officer Daniel Andrew, who joined the CHP in 2012 and has been on paid administrative leave since the incident, “has elected to resign.”

Andrew could still be charged criminally in the case. The CHP forwarded the results of its investigation of the incident to Los Angeles County prosecutors last month, saying he could face serious charges but none have been filed yet.

The bulk of the settlement will take the form of a special needs trust for Pinnock, the CHP said.
