How many people know that Eric Garner the cigarette seller who died of a heart attack while being arrest had THIRTY prior arrests?
A whole lot of people know.
He was a habitual cigarette seller.
Prior illegal cigarette sales have not made the American people think that the response was proportional to the crime.
They knew he had medical problems. They sent a large detail to bring him in...but no medical personnel or ambulance.
There is a concept called “judgment”.
Some of the populace still wants people in authority to possess and exercise this trait.
Has anyone dared to publicize the home address of Eric Garner’s daughter? The daughter who ‘accidently-on-purpose’
posted the home address of an arresting officer who took her father down? This could still happen.
