My first recollection of the Eric Garner tragedy is a brief story, a diary here on DKos I think, about a guy who was arrested after breaking up a fight. If you listen to the video, you will hear someone, I assume the guy doing the recording, saying something to the effect of, "the guy breaks up a fight & look how the cops are treating him."
I'm curious why this is never mentioned since it would have preceded, maybe precipitated what we've all seen. I'm also very curious how there appear to be a dozen police on the scene. For a guy who may have sold a cigarette?
Anybody else remember this diary? My recollection is it was about the arrest, that his death wasn't known at the time.
Yeah, not much of a diary, I know. It's just something that's been bugging me.
