COURTROUNDUP PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. By Tom Hays and Colleen Long The Associated Press NEW YORK Eric Garner was overweight and in poor health. He was a nuisance to shop owners who com- plained about him selling untaxed cigarettes on the street. When police came to arrest him, he resisted. And if he could repeat- edly say, "I can't breathe," it means he could breathe. Rank-and-file New York City police officers and their supporters have been making such arguments even before a grand jury decided against charges in Garner's death, saying the possibility that he contrib- uted to his own demise has been drowned out in the furor over race and law en- forcement. Officers say the outcry has left them feeling be- trayed and demonized by everyone from the pres- ident and the mayor to throngs of protesters who scream at them on the street. "Police officers feel like they are being thrown un- der the bus," said Patrick Lynch, president of the po- lice union. The grand jury this week cleared a white patrolman, Daniel Pantaleo, who was caught on video applying what appeared to be an illegal chokehold on the black man. Mayor Bill de Blasio said the case under- scores the NYPD's need to improve relations with mi- norities. But Lynch said: "What we did not hear is this: You cannot go out and break the law. What we did not hear is that you cannot re- sist arrest. That's a crime." At the noisy demonstra- tions that have broken out over the past few days, pro- testers have confronted po- lice who had nothing to do with the case. Signs read: "NYPD: Blood on your hands," "Racism kills" and "Hey officers, choke me or shoot me." Some demon- strators shouted, "NYPD pigs!" More than 280 peo- ple have been arrested, and more demonstrations were planned Friday. In private and on In- ternet chat rooms, offi- cers say they feel demor- alized, misunderstood and "all alone." Some are advising each other that the best way to preserve their careers is to stop making arrests like that of Garner's, in defi- ance of the NYPD's cam- paign of cracking down on minor "quality of life" of- fenses as a way to discour- age serious crime. "Everyone is just demon- izing the police," said Maki Haberfeld, a professor of police studies at John Jay College of criminal justice. "But police follow orders and laws. Nobody talks about the responsibility of the politicians to explain to the community why qual- ity-of-life enforcement is necessary." The fatal encounter oc- curred in July after Panta- leo and other police officers responded to complaints about Garner, a heavyset 43-year-old father of six. The video showed Gar- ner telling officers to leave him alone and refusing to be handcuffed. Pantaleo, an eight-year veteran, ap- peared to wrap his arm around Garner's neck and take him down to the ground with the help of other officers. Garner could be heard saying, "I can't breathe," several times before he went motionless. The medical examiner later found that a choke- hold resulted in Gar- ner's death, but also that asthma, obesity and car- diovascular disease were contributing factors. NEW YORK Po li ce : Ch ok eh ol d vi ct im c om pl ic it i n ow n de at h TANIASAVAYA—THEJOURNALNEWS About 65peaceful protestors demonstrate on Friday in White Plains, N.Y., against grand jury decisions not to indict police officers involved in the chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York City and the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. By Marcia Dunn The Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. NASA's newest space vehi- cle, Orion, accomplished its firsttestflightwithprecision and pizazz Friday, shooting more than 3,600 miles out from Earth for a hyperfast, hot return not seen sincethe Apollo moon shots. For a space agency still feeling the loss of its shut- tles, the four-hour voyage opened a new era of hu- man space exploration, with Mars as the plum. It even brought some rocket engineers to tears. "There's your new space- craft, America," Mission Control's Rob Navias said as the unmanned Orion capsule came in for a Pa- cific splashdown after two orbits of Earth. NASA is counting on fu- ture Orions to carry astro- nauts out into the solar sys- tem, to Mars and beyond. The next Orion flight, also unmanned, is four years off, and crewed flights at least seven years away given present budget con- straints. But the Orion team — spread across the coun- try and out in the ocean, is hoping Friday's triumphant splashdown will pick up the momentum. "We challenged our best and brightest to continue to lead in space," lead flight director Mike Sarafin said with emotion as he signed off from Mission Control in Houston. "While this was an unmanned mission, we were all on board Orion." W. Michael Hawes, a for- mer NASA official who now leads the Orion program for prime contractor Lock- heed Martin Corp., choked up as he recalled the pre- shuttle days. "We started with all the Apollo guys still there. So we've kind of now finally done something for the first time for our generation," he said, pausing for com- posure. "It's a good thing." Orion splashed down 270 miles off Mexico's Baja peninsula, just a mile from the projected spot — "a bull's-eye" according to NASA. Navy ships quickly moved in to transport the crew module 600 miles to San Diego, where it was expected Monday. From there, it will be loaded onto a truck and returned to Cape Canaveral just in time for Christmas. Preliminary test reports were encouraging: Not only did the capsule arrive intact, all eight parachutes deployed and onboard computers withstood the intense radiation of the Van Allen belts surround- ing Earth. What's more, everything meant to jetti- son away did so as Orion soared into space. "It's hard to have a bet- ter day than today," said a beaming Mark Geyer, NA- SA's Orion program man- ager. Sensors placed inside and out of the crew module will tell the full story: "Our big focus now is to get that data from those 1,200 sen- sors so they can pore over it in the next month or so," Geyer said. Most critical was the heat shield covering Ori- on's bottom, the largest of its kind ever made. NASA wanted to be sure it would hold before committing to a human mission. Orion reached a peak altitude of 3,604 miles, higher than any crew module since NASA's final manned moon mission, Apollo 17, in 1972. That's more than 14 times higher than the International Space Station. The capsule came in over the Pacific at 20,000 mph and endured 4,000 degrees. In just 11 minutes, it slowed to 20 mph for splashdown. A crew would have endured as much as 8.2 Gs, or 8.2 times the force of Earth gravity, double the Gs of a return- ing Russian Soyuz capsule, according to NASA.
