Eric Garner: Just A Regular Guy?

Behold Eric Garner. He was diagnosed with heart disease, asthma, obesity, diabetes, and sleep apnea. What does a police officer do with this 6' 3" 350 pound forty-three old man who is resisting arrest? Cause celebre Eric had been arrested 30 times in his life. They included assault and grand larceny.It was reported he died from the police officer's "chokehold".But actually he died in an ambulance some time later of cardiac arrest.Was Eric Garner anyone's pal? Does anyone really care about this human hulk of serious pathologies? Could he have achieved even greater weight over time and been in record books? We will never know. One thing for sure he's worth more dead than alive to his circle of pals and business creditors. He is not a real human. He's a symbol that is worth money and power to exploiting relatives, lawyers and politicians? The alchemy of our civil rights laws turns his death into the fault of the system. Rather his lack of discipline ranging from not following healthy living to ignoring common sense law enforcement was the real reason why he's dead. The media has Garner saying " I can't breathe".How could he speak if he couldn't breathe ?
