-I wouldn't have arrested Garner, he wasn't bothering anyone, and they knew it. I would have said:
“Hi Eric, how's it going today? I hear you just broke up a fight, good job! “
-But I'm not a SOCIOPATH.
Bingo.
Are you trying to convince yourself?
The boys in blue obviously had a charge to arrest him on. They showed him the cuffs, they tried to arrest him, tried to put his hands behind his back.
He resisted arrest. He should have complied and later sued if he had a legitimate case, after all, it was all on video right?
