Sure, if you think it will help.
Are you suggesting that Garner was jumped, for no reason whatsoever and executed at random?

You were playing the first year philosophy major role. "How do we know what what is?" But there's no longer a need to defend Eric Garner's killer by getting all wishy washy about the hard evidence, we can now talk about cigarette taxes and Michael Bloomberg. What a relief.
When Eric Garner was being strangled to death he said "I can't breathe" and since we all know if you say that then you *can* breathe, he clearly didn't die from an actual inability to breathe. It was a metaphor. What he meant to say was "I can't breathe under all these stifling taxes and hey guys don't you think Bloomberg is a bit of a liberal?"
I am suggesting that the force applied was inappropriate and the cop who did it should have a murder charge of some sort (probably 3rd degree/manslaughter) and be fired from the force. This has nothing to do with what offence Garner committed or the colour of his skin. He was unarmed and not resisting. The force was inappropriate.
That said, there was something seriously wrong in this arrest.

Captain probably figures girls that wear short dresses need to shoulder part of the blame for being raped....although, I suspect he doesn't believe rich folks should shoulder any of the blame for being mugged.
You know you can be a little bolder than that. No one will be asking for your Conservative Party membership card.
You are going over the line again.
Back that accusation up or retract it.

That assessment is only possible on an after the fact basis. Garner was also resisting which drew in more cops.
Earlier you suggested that Garner assumed his share of responsibility by virtue of his death. That was a consequence of his actions. Garner does bear a portion of responsibility based on his actions.
We will have to agree to disagree on this one Captain. I find no scenario which justifies the cops reactions and actions.
My comment was entirely tongue-in-cheek. Should have been in purple. My bad.
I never heard of a person talking when they can't breathe!![]()
