"I can't breathe."
Eric Garner wanted to get enough breath to live, not just enough to beg for his life.
Who has to be a doctor to understand that?
These po pos must have been some truly goofy beasts.
They were choking, pressing the man's head, his upper body: five or more against one.
These goons had guns, sticks, tazers, and numbers when nothing whatever was at stake.
They claimed they were guarding against biting and spitting.
Did they also sit on the man's legs, and tie his feet?
Did they plan to pull out his fingernails to keep him from scratching?
People do struggle against unjust brute force.
Are police people not prepared for that without employing unnecessarily torturous tactics
to curb a man's natural instinct? Isn't the preparation for struggle, when no imminent danger
is presenting, the reason they want to be called "professional"?
Lot's of luck- because public perception of you and your methods as worse than those at Abu Ghraib will live in perpetuity.
