Related: Eric Garner and Omnipresent Police Power: The Eric Garner case is a reminder that government is force, and more government equals more force. “What did the facts show in the Staten Island case?

Rather, it shows a callousness toward his obvious physical distress when the confrontation goes wrong. The killing is less malicious than officious.”
