This video is pretty sickening and difficult to watch. However it is brief and necessary, if you care about what the police are doing tp everyday citizens in this country… (Need I mention that Eric happens to be African American, which I believe was significant in his treatment, just as a mental illness would have been or other supposedly extraneous factors…
Yes I heard that later but it doesn’t justify any choke hold or murder any more than My screaming on the psych unit justifies suffocation and four point restraints ….I am sorry but there are other ways to deal with people like Garner and with me…

Eric Garner didn’t break up a fight, he was selling cigarettes illegally on the streets of New York (not that that justifies his murder).
