"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Eric Garner's Murder Reveals An Ugly Truth: Government is Force
"And also, let's be clear, because when you unleash armies of thugs on the population to enforce every petty law, they're soon going to acquire an attitude. Eventually, telling a cop, "Please just leave me alone," as Garner told the cops rousting him, becomes an unacceptable act of defiance. It's interpreted as an invitation to swarm a man suspected of selling handfuls of untaxed cigarettes and wrestle him to the ground."

"Giuliani said the insertion of race into the [Garner] case is unwarranted and that a white man breaking the law would have seen the same result." Quite true, but ah...that's the point, Mr Mayor. In the end, defy the state, and you're liable to die, whatever race you happen to be, (although some get smacked down a little harder than others it seems). Government isn't justice, reason, or kindly. It is ultimately force.
