Ben Shapiro rightfully notes that HuffPo neglected to mention that the entire takedown was overseen by a female black NYPD sergeant but then conveniently omits that Eric Garner was taken down by a team of six for a “crime” in which he posed no danger to anyone but the government’s balance sheet.
He isn’t using the left’s incendiary language, but omission of information is just as much a problem just as exaggeration of information. In this context, it makes the incident seem less severe than it was.
We’re conservatives; we should think like rational adults and be able to admit that there were things seriously wrong with the Eric Garner case instead of being tempted to label it “unfortunate” and sweep it under the rug simply because the left has tried to co-opt it.
....Or better yet, support as conservatives those local businesses in the area that want to do their business work in peace.
