We are living in a world in which we have to be vigilant regarding criminals who try to scam us. These criminals contact us via email and telephone. In some instances, their pitches are very intelligent and logical and, if you've been having computer problems for a month, for example, and you get a phone call from someone claiming to be a techie who does outsourced work for Microsoft, you might be tempted to allow him access to your computer. DON'T! A legitimate techie won't initiate a call to a potential client and Microsoft never initiates calls to clients or potential clients. |

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. |
