What a stupid idea. The implication is that if you break the law, any law, you shouldn’t breathe easy? Laws like J-walking or selling illegal cigarettes?

The term “breathe easy” relates to the choke hold and asphyxiation death of Garner. So alluding to breathing in this case implies the literal act of breathing. It is not in the sense of “breathing easy” which implies a state of relaxation or ease.

Stalin’s NKVD chief said “show me the man and I’ll find you the crime” The Federal register is filled with so many unknowable rules carrying the force of law that most people are breaking the law every day.

Uh...no. The implication is not to resist arrest.

He was NOT put in a choke hold, and he did NOT die of asphyxiation. He died of a myocardial infarction in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Please stop spreading the lie. Thank you.
