I haven't blogged about criminal issues, yet, but I strongly feel that it's time that I did as the Eric Garner murder by the police and, I might add, the EMS workers who did nothing to save him, is so disturbing to me that I have to write about it. I have seen the video that was taken of Eric Garner's "arrest", if you want to call it that, and was both shocked and appalled by what I saw. Mr. Garner had his hands up in the air, in surrender mode, when what looked like anywhere from 4 - 6 policemen surrounded him and one of them put him in a chokehold. |
