[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1488316, member: 14668"] I never said anything about profiling, or stop and frisk, or even the inherent fairness of the law (selling untaxed cigarettes) that he was accused of breaking. There is room for legitimate debate and disagreement concerning these subjects. What I said was that he made a conscious decision to resist arrest and it was[I] that[/I] decision alone that caused the altercation with police that ultimately cost him his life. When the cops say "you are under arrest" then the law is that [B]you must submit to being arrested[/B]. [B]Period[/B]. You will have your day in court, you will get your lawyer, you are entitled to due process of law, a presumption of innocence, and a trial by a jury of your peers. What you are [B]not[/B] entitled to do....is to fight with the police whose job it is to enforce the law. Eric Garner [I]knew[/I] this. He had been arrested 30 times before and he knew the drill. He made a choice to break the law and the result was an accident that cost him his life. [/QUOTE]
