Historianspeaks remembers Eric Garner whoo would have turned 54 today.
On July 17, 2014, Garner, an African American man, was killed in the New York City borough of Staten Island by Daniel Pantaleo, NYPD officer, after Pantaleo approached Garner about selling loose cigarettes, used a chokehold, an illegal restraining tactic, causing Garner to lose consciousness and die.. Video footage of the incident generated widespread national attention. #EricGarner #ICan'tBreathe #NYPD #PoliceBrutality

Policing America…sad, reprehensible, repulsive

“To residents of Memphis’s resource-poor, predominantly nonwhite neighborhoods, the Scorpions were easy to spot. The plainclothes patrols were known for driving their unmarked Dodge Chargers through the streets, often all too recklessly, sowing fear as they went, spitting venom from their windows, jumping out with guns drawn at the slightest sign of an infraction.”
