As long as the officer’s history is fair game, what about Eric Garner’s?
None of this would have happened had he not resisted arrest. He’d been arrested 30 times. He knew the drill. He knew he was risking a heart attack by resisting.
Cops are professionals, Garner is not. The onus is always on the professional. As an example, truck drivers operate under a different standard than the general public. The question for them is not who is fault, but was it AVOIDABLE. Garner was at fault, but his death was avoidable.
