Feels like we are living in a police state

All the media attention is on Ferguson these days, and of course, Reverand Al is there to remind everyone that this is a race issue and make sure people stay divided. It’s a successful ploy to divert media attention away from Eric Garner in NYC. A man who one moment was selling “loosies”, and the next moment died from being put in an illegal chokehold by the police who were attempting to arrest him for his “serious” crime. Ramsey Orta, a white man, filmed the event. His video has gone viral and now, he too is in jail. I’ve heard, that they are now trying to say that Garner is to blame for his own death because if he didn’t resist arrest, the events that followed woudn’t have taken place. Totally illogical, and total bullshit. These days, however, people might actually believe that arguement as being rational. This is an opportunity for EVERYONE to come together, regardless of race to protest the injustices of those in authority. If the police get away with murder in Garner’s case, and I have a feeling they might, there should be a ton of protests in NYC from EVERYBODY not just the black community. And, where is Reverand Al?
