“Eric Garner was on the street July 17, selling untaxed cigarettes one at a time — which, happens to be a crime.”
I tried coming up with something sarcastic to say about this but I failed. I’m just amazed by how dumb the justification for the use of force (violence) is in this case.
So there you have it; “selling untaxed cigarettes” — a clear violation of the law and punishable by arrest and side effects may include death …
In conclusion, legalize all non-violent activities — drugs, gambling, prostitution, sale of non-taxed items, etc. etc. etc. [ and get them out of the business of enforcing traffic as well ] …
The only thing cops should be involved in are theft and violent crimes and the prevention of them ..
