The left likes to spin the death of Eric Garner as an example of racism and police abuse in America. But the fact is this, liberal policies created the conditions in which Garner died.
New York is run by liberals. Liberals have raised taxes on cigarettes so astronomically high that they unwittingly created a black market for them. Eric Garner was selling cigarettes via the black market and New York wasn't getting their cut via the taxes that were supposed to be paid. Liberal politicians want the New York police to arrest those illicitly trafficking in non-taxed (non-stamped) cigarettes. Hence, the police caught Garner and, in the struggle to subdue him, Garner died.
Liberals want more government, more taxation and more police to enforce their will. Then, when something goes south, liberals blame the police, racism or whitey. Got it?
